In nature, one common strategy to make thermodynamically unfavorable reactions proceed is to couple them chemically to reactions

that are thermodynamically favorable. As long as the overall reaction is thermodynamically favorable, even the unfavorable reaction will proceed.
Part A
Consider these hypothetical chemical reactions:
A⇌B,ΔG= 14.8 kJ/mol
B⇌C,ΔG= -29.7 kJ/mol
C⇌D,ΔG= 8.10 kJ/mol
What is the free energy, ΔG, for the overall reaction, A⇌D?
Part B
Firefly luciferase is the enzyme that allows fireflies to illuminate their abdomens. Because this light generation is an ATP-requiring reaction, firefly luciferase can be used to test for the presence of ATP. In this way, luciferase can test for the presence of life. The coupled reactions are
luciferin+O2ATP⇌⇌oxyluciferin+lightAMP+PPi
If the overall ΔG of the coupled reaction is -7.50 kJ/mol , what is the equilibrium constant, K, of the first reactions at 11 ∘C ? The ΔG for the hydrolysis of ATP to AMP is −31.6 kJ/mol.

Answer:

\triangle G= -6.7 KJ/mol

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Chemical Reactions:

X=A⇌B,ΔG= 14.8 kJ/mol

Y=B⇌C,ΔG= -29.7 kJ/mol

Z=C⇌D,ΔG= 8.10 kJ/mol

Since

Hess Law

The law states that the total enthalpy change during the complete course of a chemical reaction is independent of the number of steps taken.

Therefore

Generally the equation for the Reaction is mathematically given by

T = +1 * X +1 * Y +1 *Z

Therefore the free energy, ΔG is

\triangle G=1 * \triangle G*X +1 * \triangle G*Y +1 * \triangle G *Z

\triangle G= +1 * (14.9) +1 * (-29.7) +1 * (8.10)

\triangle G= -6.7 KJ/mol

Answer:

Is the source an authority on the subject?

Explanation:

To figure out which source is accurate, you want to find out the source's authority on the subject. For  example, if you wanted to learn how to play the piano, you wouldn't go to a dance teacher, you would go to someone who knows how to play the piano. The person who knows how to play the piano has more authority to teach the piano than a dance teacher.
