Term
1st law thermodynamics
Definition
law of conservation of energy- energy of the universe is constant. when e of sys decreases the energy of rest of universe increases
Term
2nd law thermodynamics
Definition
disorder/entropy of the universe tends to increases
Term
Gibbs free energy eqn
Definition
delta G =delta H -TdeltaS
H-enthalpy
S- entropy
Term
Enthalpy, H
Definition
change in H = change in E -pressure times change in volume
Term
if delta S is negative, disorder-
Definition
the sys lost entropy and disorder decreased
Term
in liq phase how is H related to E
Definition
H=E, bc volume is negligible
Term
Favorable rxn G?
Definition
-G, spontaneous exergonic (energy in system)
Term
standard G
Definition
prodcts and reactants at 1M
pH 7
Term
Delta G depends on concentrations of products/reactants eqn:
Definition
G'= -RTlnK'eq
Term
K'eq=
Definition
CD/BA
Term
large Keq vs small
Definition
large= more products at equlib. meaning products have lower free energy
Term
G=0 products or reactants favored?
Definition
Neither, G=0 you are at equilibrium
Term
how does delta G change for burning sugar vs breaking down sugar in the body?
Definition
G is independent of rxn pathway, and only takes into the acount of energy of products vs reactants. Therefore G is same in both
Term
how would the rate of a spontaneous reaction be affected if the activation energy Ea were lowered?
Definition
rate increased
lowering Ea means lowering amount of energy to get to TS, and the more TS formed the more product will be produced, therefore a faster rate.
Term
How do enzymes affect concentrations of reagents at equilib?
Definition
it doesnt alter concentrations, just hte rate it will reach equilib.
Term
what is the favorable rxn a cell uses to drive unfavorable ones?
Definition
ATP hydrolysis
Term
What shape do enzymes take? Globular or fibrous?
Definition
Globular/spherical inorder to form an active site.
Structural proteins tend to be fibrous
Term
Cmpd A converts into cmpd B in solution. They are in equilibrium. Keq= [B]/[A]=1000
If A is dissolved into water at 298 K will delta G be + or -?
Definition
You don't need to calculate G. If Keq=1000, you know that there will be 1000 times more B than A in a solution at equilibrium. If there is a solution of only A, the rxn will spntly go towards B.
Term
which configuration of aa and surgars are in animals?
Definition
L aa and D sugars
Term
what are the redox members of glucose oxiatation?
Definition
C oxidized to CO2
O reduced to H20
Term
finish pg 35=48, glycolysis and metabilism/krebs
