Document Summary

What you need to know for the chem 237 midterm: Thermodynamics: you must know what g and g0 are and what they mean. You must know the different contributions of enthalpy and entropy to free energy. You must know what entropy means and how it affects the spontaneity of a reaction. You must know the relationship between g0 and k and g and g0 i will give you the equations you need to know how to use them. You need to be able to calculate k given g0 and vice versa. You need to be able to calculate g from g0 and initial concentrations. You need to understand things conceptually as well. You need to know what types of phosphate compounds are high energy and why atp is the energy currency of the cell. You must be able to put together coupled reaction pairs and calculate g0 for such coupled reactions.
