Question

 Could you help me with this? I'm stuck on this question.

Consider the reaction:
Malate + NAD +→ Oxaloacetate + NADH
(AG'° = +29.7 kJ/mol)
A cell at 25°C has the following concentrations of these compounds:
malate = 0.5 mM
oxaloacetate = 0.00002 mM
NAD = 1 mM
%3D
NADH = 0.04 mM
Is the reaction spontaneous?
