Bioenergetics & ATP

(Ch. 1.3, 13.1, 13.3)


After this section you should be able to:
Predict the direction of a chemical reaction under standard
conditions based on G
o
or K
eq
Calculate G under non-standard directions
Describe the factors that alter the G of a reaction
Calculate the G of a coupled reaction
Describe what happens when a reaction is in equilibrium
Distinguish factors that influence the direction of a reaction
from factors that influence rate of the reaction
2 Questions for a Chemical Reaction
1) In which direction will it proceed?
2) At what rate will it proceed?
+
Group Activity
Spontaneous
Nonspontaneous
+G
-G
Slow
Fast
Will proceed to the left
Will proceed to the right
Energetically Favorable
Energetically Unfavorable
Endergonic
Exergonic
Determine which of these words
correctly describe each graph to the left?
1) How is the G and equilibrium related to the
direction of a reaction?
2) How can unfavorable reactions be made favorable?
3) Why is ATP so full of energy?
Three Main Questions:
1. Determining rxn direction:
equilibrium & G
H: reflects that number of kinds of bonds in the
reactants and products
S: randomness / disorder of the system
G: free energy change
- G: _______________
+ G: _______________
G represents the free energy change
G = H - TS
All reactions proceed spontaneously
toward lower free energy (-G)
G is independent of reaction path

i
] = 1 mM; [Glucose 6-phosphate] = 18.5 M
What is the value of G? Will this reaction proceed under
standard conditions?
a) G = -13.8 kJ/mol; yes it will proceed
b) G = +13.8 kJ/mol; yes it will proceed
c) G = 0; no, this reaction is at equilibrium
d) G = -13.8 kJ/mol; no it will not proceed
e) G = +13.8 kJ/mol; no it will not proceed
Part 2: Brainstorm with your neighbors: what can be altered to
make this reaction more favorable?
