Question
The following reaction is part of glycogen degradation and occurs inside a cell glucose-1-phosphate rightarrow glucose-6-phosphate The phosphoryl group transfer potential for glucose-1-phosphate is -20.9 kJ/mol and for glucose-6-phosphate is -13.8 kJ/mol. What is the K_eq (K) at 298 K? Is the conversion of glucose-1-phosphate to glucose-6-phosphate favorable or unfavorable under standard conditions? K = 17.5 and the reaction is favorable. K = 17.5 and the reaction is unfavorable K = 0.057 and the reaction is unfavorable. K = 0.057 and the reaction is favorableExplanation / Answer
For the given biological transformation,
the value of equilibrium constant for the reaction would be,
- K = 17.5 and the reaction is favorable
The reaction has a -ve dG value and thus the reaction is spontaneous or favorable as written.
