Question
Lactic acid fermentation. (a) Write a balanced equation for the conversion of glucose into lactate. (b) Calculate the standard free-energy change of this reaction by using the data given in Table 16.1 and the fact that G° is 25 kJ mol1 (–6 kcal mol1) for the following reaction: Pyruvate + NADH + H+ lactate + NAD+ ; What is the free-energy change (G, not G°) of this reaction when the concentrations of reactants are: glucose, 0.01 M; lactate, 0.000025 M; ATP, 0.002 M; ADP, 0.0002 M; and Pi, 0.001 M? Assume 25 degrees Celcius.

Lactic acid fermentation
(a) equation for glucose to lactate reaction
1glucose + 2ADP + 2Pi ---> 2lactate + 2ATP
Using relation,
dG = dGo + RTlnK
dGo = 25 kJ/mol
Feeding concentration values,
dG = -114 kJ/mol
