a.Does this reaction move forward (from left to right)or backward under standard state conditions? Explain you answer in one sentence.
b.Calculate the K_eq for this reaction at 25°C.
c.After the reaction has reached equilibrium at 25°C [ATP] = 5 mM,[ADP] = 0.5 mM,[pyruvate] = 0.2 mM.Calculate the concentration PEP.
