The following reversible enzymatic reaction occurs in many areas of the body, but especially in red blood cells. The conversion of water and carbon dioxide into bicarbonate and hydrogen ions occurs through the action of an enzyme called carbonic anhydrase. Use the Law of Mass Action to predict which direction this equation will go under different circumstances.
CO2 + H2O ↔ H+ + HCO3-
Hyperventilating would increase the loss of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the blood. In what direction would the reaction above go in order to restore equilibrium? Left or right?
Ethylene (C2H4) plays an important role in the ripening of certain fruits and vegetables. It is sometimes supplemented under controlled conditions at produce—processing facilities but is also produced naturally by many fruit-bearing plants. Although the actual process by which plants produce ethylene is a complex one, imagine that it is produced by the simple breakdown of glucose according to the equation:
C6H12O6 (s) à 3 C2H4 (g) + 3 O2 (g)
Given S°= 212.1 J/molK, DG°= -910.56 kJ/mol and DH°= -1274.5 kJ/mol for C6H12O6 (s).
a.) Determine the sign of DS° for the reaction.
b.) Calculate DS° for the reaction.
c.) Using the tabulated DG° values in the appendix, calculate DG° for the reaction.
d.) Above what temperature (in °C) is the reaction spontaneous? Hint: you will first have to calculate DH° using tabulated values.
