Multiple Choice

The following questions are based on the reaction A + B ↔ C + D shown in Figure 8.1.

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) .
