Figure 8.1
-Assume that the reaction in Figure 8.1 has a ΔG of -5.6 kcal/mol. Which of the following would be true?

• A) The reaction could be coupled to power an endergonic reaction with a ΔG of +6.2 kcal/mol.
• B) The reaction could be coupled to power an exergonic reaction with a ΔG of +8.8 kcal/mol.
• C) The reaction would result in a decrease in entropy (
• S) and an increase in the total energy content (
• H) of the system.
• D) The reaction would result in an increase in entropy (
• S) and a decrease in the total energy content (
• H) of the system.
• E) The reaction would result in products (C +
• D) with a greater free-energy content than in the initial reactants (A +
• B).
