The reaction converting glycerol to glycerol-3-phosphate is energetically unfavorable by 9.2 kJ. The reaction of ATP with water

to yield ADP, hydrogen phosphate ion, and hydrogen ion is energetically favorable by 30.5 kJ. These reactions are coupled so that the overall process is energetically favorable. What is ΔG for the overall process?

Answer:

ΔG for overall reaction :  -21.3 kJ

Explanation:

Reaction of the conversion of glycerol to glycerol-3-phosphate is unfavorable and thus is coupled with second reaction that involves the conversion of ATP to ADP which is highly energetically favorable.

Reaction 1:  Glycerol + HPO₄²⁻ ⇒ Glycerol-3-phosphate + water

Reaction 2:             ATP  + H₂O ⇒ ADP + HPO₄²⁻ + H⁺

ΔG for reaction 1 : 9.2 kJ (non-spontaneous : Positive value)

ΔG for reaction 2 : -30.5 kJ (spontaneous : Negative value)

The overall coupled reaction is:

<u>Glycerol + ATP ⇒ Glycerol-3-phosphate + ADP + H⁺</u>

<u>ΔG for overall reaction : 9.2 kJ + (-30.5 kJ) = -21.3 kJ</u>

negative sign signifies that the overall reaction is spontaneous.

How many joules are required for melting 12.8g of ice at 0 degrees Celsius?
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

4,270 Joules

Explanation:

The heat of fusion of water is 334 j/g. So, the equation would be (12.8 g)(334 j/g) which comes to 4,270 joules.

Written out that's just twelve point eight times three hundred and thirty four.

In the lewis structure of ch3oh, how many bonding pairs of electrons are there?
zysi [14]
Answer:
            There are five <span>bonding pairs of electrons in Methanol.

Explanation:
                   Those electron pairs which are being shared between two atoms in molecule are called as bonding pair electrons. While, those electron pairs which are not involved in bond formation and are not shared between two atoms are called as Non-Bonding electron pairs.
                   In molecule of Methanol as shown below, it can be seen that carbon atom is forming four bonds with three hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom by sharing four electron pairs and oxygen is forming two bonds, one with carbon atom and one with hydrogen atom. There are two lone pair of electrons present on oxygen atom which are not taking part in and formation.</span>
