The reaction of the hydrolysis of glucose 6-phosphate to


HELP equilibrium constant question.

The reaction of the hydrolysis of glucose 6-phosphate to give glucose and phosphate has a ΔGo ′ = -13.8 kJ/mol. The reaction takes place at 25°C. Initially, the concentration of glucose 6- phosphate is 10-5 M, that of glucose is 10-1 M, and that of phosphate is 10-1 M.

(a) What is equilibrium constant for the reaction?

(b) What is the ΔG for this reaction under the initial conditions?

(c) Under the initial conditions, in which direction will the reaction proceed? Why?

(d) Under standard conditions, in which direction will the reaction proceed? Why?
