Hydrolysis Reactions Are Commonly Used Inside the Cell to Split

question 5

Essay

Hydrolysis reactions are commonly used inside the cell to split high-energy covalent bonds.For each of the three reactions below, use the ΔG° for each reaction to determine the equilibrium constants (K).Assume that each reaction occurs independently of the other two.
ΔG° (kcal/mole)
Reaction 1: acetyl-P → acetate + P −10.3
Reaction 2: ATP → ADP + P −7.3
Reaction 3: glucose 6-P → glucose + P −3.3
