The value of Δ G ° ' for the conversion of glucose-6-phosphate to fructose-6-phosphate (F6P) is + 1.67 kJ/mol . If the concentration of glucose-6-phosphate at equilibrium is 2.95 mM , what is the concentration of fructose-6-phosphate? Assume a temperature of 25.0 ° C .

Answer:

1.503 mM is the concentration of fructose-6-phosphate.

Explanation:

Glucose-6-phosphate ⇄ Fructose-6-phosphate

The equilibrium constant will be given by = [tex]K_c[/tex]

[tex]K_c=\frac{[\text{Fructose-6-phosphate}]}{[\text{Glucose-6-phosphate}]}[/tex]

[tex]K_c=\frac{[\text{Fructose-6-phosphate}]}{2.95 mM}[/tex]

Relation between standard Gibbs free energy and equilibrium constant follows:

[tex]\Delta G^o=-RT\ln K_c[/tex]

where,

[tex]\Delta G^o[/tex] = standard Gibbs free energy = 1.67 kJ/mol = 1670 J/mol  (Conversion factor: 1kJ = 1000J)

R = Gas constant = [tex]8.314 J/K mol[/tex]

T = temperature = [tex]25.0^oC=[273+25.0]K=298.0 K[/tex]

[tex]1670 J/mol=-8.314 J/mol K\times 298.0 K\times \ln \frac{[\text{Fructose-6-phosphate}]}{2.95 mM}[/tex]

On solving above equation :

[tex][\text{Fructose-6-phosphate}]=1.503 mM[/tex]

1.503 mM is the concentration of fructose-6-phosphate.
