Answer:
The actual free energy = 78.54 X 10⁻² J
Explanation:
Given standard free energy = 23.8 kJ/mol
Free energy due to the presence of fructose 1,6-bisphosphate (1.4 X 10⁻⁵ M)
= 1.4 X 10⁻⁵ M * (23800 J/mol)
= 33.32 X 10⁻² J
Free energy due to the presence of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (3 X 10⁻⁶ M)
= 3 X 10⁻⁶ M * (23800 J/mol)
=7.14 X 10⁻² J
Free energy due to the presence of dihydroxyacetone phosphate (1.6 x 10⁻⁵M)
= 1.6 x 10⁻⁵M * (23800 J/mol)
= 38.08 X 10⁻² J
The actual free = 33.32 X 10⁻² J + 7.14 X 10⁻² J + 38.08 X 10⁻² J
The actual free energy = 78.54 X 10⁻² J
