Chapter 13, Problem 2RQ
Summary Introduction
To review:
The role of enthalpy change (ΔH) and entropy change (ΔS) in driving a biochemical reaction and the role of free energy in both cases.
Introduction:
There are various types of biochemical reactions that are performed by the cell in order to perform its functions. A free energy change or Gibbs free energy change (ΔG) is the energy that is available to perform a function. The change in enthalpy (ΔH) and change in entropy (ΔS) are two components of ΔG. ΔH is a measure of heat released or absorbed during the reaction while ΔS depends on the number and stability of products formed. Â
