Consider the reaction NH4+(aq) H+(aq)+NH3(aq) Use G f for NH3(aq) at 25C=26.7 kJ/mol and the appropriate tables to calculate (a) G at 25C (b) Ka at 25C
Consider the decomposition of red mercury(II) oxide under standard state conditions.. 2HgO(s,red)2Hg(l)+O2(g) (a) Is the decomposition spontaneous under standard state conditions? (b) Above what temperature does the reaction become spontaneous?
If you calculate a value for G for a reaction using the values of Gf in Appendix 4 and get a negative number, is it correct to say that the reaction is always spontaneous? Why or why not? Free energy changes also depend on concentration. For gases, how is G related to the pressure of the gas? What are standard pressures for gases and standard concentrations for solutes? How do you calculate G for a reaction at nonstandard conditions? The equation to determine G at nonstandard conditions has Q in it: What is Q? A reaction is spontaneous as long as G is negative; that is, reactions always proceed as long as the products have a lower free energy than the reactants. What is so special about equilibrium? Why dont reactions move away from equilibrium?

One of the important reactions in the biochemical pathway glycolysis is the reaction of glucose-6-phosphate (G6P) to form fructose-6-phosphate (F6P): G6PF6PG298=1.7kJ (a) Is the reaction spontaneous or nonspontaneous under standard thermodynamic conditions?. (b) Standard thermodynamic conditions imply the concentrations of G6P and F6P to be 1 M, however, in a typical cell, they are not even Close to these values. Calculate G when the concentrations of G6P and F6P are 120 M and 28 M respectively, and discuss the spontaneity of the forward reaction under these conditions. Assume the temperature is 37 C.
