The Following Questions Are Based on the Reaction a

Multiple Choice

The following questions are based on the reaction A + B → C + D shown in Figure 8.2.


-Assume that the reaction has a △G 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 △G of +6.2 kcal/mol.
B) The reaction could be coupled to power an exergonic reaction with a △G 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) .
