Concept introduction:
All the energy available with the system, which is utilized in doing useful work, is called Gibbs free energy.
The standard free energy of formation is defined as the free energy change that occurs when one mole of the compound is combined from its constituent elements, each in their standard states.
The relation between free energy change and standard free energy change is as follows:
Here,
At equilibrium, the above equation is reduced to the expression:
The overall free energy change for the transport of 3 moles of glucose into the cell is calculated as
