You are studying a reaction wherein compound X is dehydrogenated to yield compound Y, and in the absence of a catalyst you have determined that the delta Go under standard conditions of pH 7 and 37o (RT = 0.59 kcal/mole) has a value of +1.2 kcal/mole. If you start with 150,000 molecules of X, how much, if any, Y will be generated when you reach equilibrium? Explain your answer.
