Question
What are the energetic consequences of coupling a reaction witha +G to one with a larger–G?
AG that is favorable overall and drives the reactionwith a +G in the forward direction
An outcome inwhich both reactions are energetically unfavorable overall
An outcome inwhich the overall G is +
An outcome inwhich the overall G is unfavorable
What are the energetic consequences of coupling a reaction witha +G to one with a larger–G?
AG that is favorable overall and drives the reactionwith a +G in the forward direction
An outcome inwhich both reactions are energetically unfavorable overall
An outcome inwhich the overall G is +
An outcome inwhich the overall G is unfavorable
Explanation / Answer
A) Overall the delG is negative if you sum both delG. So the overall reaction is spontaneous, and the forward reactioncan proceed to the right.
