Biological Forms of Energy

Differentiate between ΔG and ΔG°

ΔG is Gibbs free energy

• ΔG = Gproducts – Greactants

• determines whether a reaction is energetically favourable or unfavourable

• affected by properties of the molecules and the reaction conditions

ΔG° is the standard-state free energy of reaction

• ΔG° = ΔH° - TΔS°

Predict whether a chemical reaction is spontaneous based on its ΔG

ΔG < 0

• energetically favourable reaction

• products are favoured

• the backwards reaction can happen, but not as often

• as time passes, the concentration of the reactant will fall and the

product will rise

ΔG = 0

• neither reactants or products are favoured

• this is what happens after a lot of time in all reactions

ΔG > 0

• energetically unfavourable reaction

• reactants are favoured

Give examples of energetically favourable reactions the cell uses to drive unfavourable

reactions forward, and explain the general mechanism by which this occurs

- coupled reactions

- take two reactions and link them in such as way that a reaction with a negative ΔG can power

a reaction with a positive ΔG

- as long as the total ΔG for both reactions is negative

- combining the hydrolysis of ATP with other, unfavourable reactions such as the synthesis of

sucrose can result in an equation that is overall favourable

- another example is ATP hydrolysis being coupled with the synthesis of glutamine

Document Summary

G is gibbs free energy: g = gproducts greactants, determines whether a reaction is energetically favourable or unfavourable, affected by properties of the molecules and the reaction conditions. G is the standard-state free energy of reaction: g = h - t s . Predict whether a chemical reaction is spontaneous based on its g. G < 0: energetically favourable reaction, products are favoured, the backwards reaction can happen, but not as often, as time passes, the concentration of the reactant will fall and the product will rise. G = 0: neither reactants or products are favoured, this is what happens after a lot of time in all reactions. G > 0: energetically unfavourable reaction, reactants are favoured. Give examples of energetically favourable reactions the cell uses to drive unfavourable reactions forward, and explain the general mechanism by which this occurs.

ree Energy and Chemical Equilibrium Why? The free energy change for a chemical reaction depends on the temperature concentrations of the reactants and the products. You, like chemists in and the research and manufacturing, can use the free energy change to identify suitable temperatures for reactions, to determine the direction a reaction will go to reu equilibrium, and to obtain values for equilibrium constants and equibrium ch concentrations. Learning Objectives Understand the relationship between the free energy change and the reaction quotient expression. Identify the effect of temperature on the free energy change and on equilibrium constants Success Criteria the free energy change for a reaction at various temperatures and various concentrations of reactants and products. Identify the direction a reaction will proceed spontaneously. Calculate one or more of ÎGo ,aHo, aso, and K given the others.
