Question

Part B only. Thanks

Exercise 3.16

Consider the reaction that converts pyruvic acid (CH3COCOOH) into gaseous acetaldehyde (CH3CHO) and gaseous CO2, which is catalyzed in aqueous solution by the enzyme pyruvate decarboxylase. Assume ideal gas behavior for CO2.

Part A

Calculate rG (298 K) for this reaction.

Express your answer to four significant figures and include the appropriate units.

CH3COCOOH remains gase at 298 K and 130 bar. CO2 remains gase at 298 K and 130 bar. CH3CHO remains gase at 298 K and 130 bar. None of the above.

Explanation / Answer

CH3COCOOH ----> CO2 + CH3CHO

DG= DG0 + RTLnQ

Q= (PCH3CHO) (PCO2) = (130)(130)

DG= -64.3 kJ/mol + 8.314x10-3kJ/mol.K x 298K x Ln (130)2 = -40.2 kJ/mol
