Question

Calculate the standard biological Gibbs free energy for the reaction:pyruvate- + NADH + H+(aq) ---> Lactate- + NAD+at 304 K given that the standard Gibbs free energy = -69.0 kJ/mol at this temperature. This reaction occurs under conditions of low oxygen supply, such as in muscle cells during strenuous exercise. Note: See Box 7.1 on page 164. The biological standard state has hydrogen ions at 1x10-7 molar instead of 1 M.
