Aconitase catalyzes the citric acid cycle reaction: citrate <==> isocitrate. The standard free energy change, ΔGo ’, for t

his reaction is +6.7 kJ/mol. However, the observed free energy change (ΔG) for this reaction in pig heart mitochondria is +0.8 kJ/mol. What is the ratio of [isocitrate]/[citrate] in these mitochondria? If [isocitrate] = 0.03 mM, what is [citrate]

Answer:

A. [isocitrate]/[citrate] = 0.724

B. [citrate] = 24.1 mM

Explanation:

Using the equation, ∆G'° = -RTlnK'eq

Where, ∆G'° = 0.8 KJ/mol = 800 J/mol; R is molar gas constant = 8.315 J/mol; T is standard temperature = 298 K; Keq is equilibrium constant = [isocitrate]/[citrate]

Making Keq subject of formula in the above equation;

Keq = e^(-∆G'°/RT)

= e^ {-800/(8.315*298)}

= e^(-0.323)

Keq = 0.724

Therefore, [isocitrate]/[citrate] = 0.

724

B. Keq = [isocitrate]/[citrate]

Where Keq = 0.724, [isocitrate] = 0.03mM.

[citrate] = Keq/[isocitrate]

= 0.724/0.03

[citrate] = 24.1 mM

N a football game, two players tackle each other so hard that they both fly in opposite directions after they hit each other. �W
evablogger [386]

Answer:

Newton's Third Law

Explanation:

Newton's Third Law stipulates that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

So when the two players are tackling they exert a force on each other.

If player 1 tackles (exerts a force) player 2,  player 2 will exert an equal and opposite reaction on player 1 as stated in Newton's Third Law.

Therefore when they tackle each other so hard they both experience reaction forces so powerful that they fly in opposite directions.

Thus this is an example of the Newton's Third Law.

What happens to elements when they combine together chemically ?
lara [203]

Answer:

When two distinct elements are chemically combined—i.e., chemical bonds form between their atoms—the result is called a chemical compound. Most elements on Earth bond with other elements to form chemical compounds, such as sodium (Na) and Chloride (Cl), which combine to form table salt (NaCl).
