The formation of a dipeptide is the first step toward the
synthesis of a
protein molecule. Consider the following reaction:
glycine (aq) + glycine (aq) à glycylglycine (aq) + H2O (l)
Given that the standard formation free energies for
glycylglycine (aq), glycine (aq) and
water are respectively – 487.9 kJ/mol, – 315.9 kJ/mol and –
237.13 kJ/mol, calculate
DRGo’ and the equilibrium constant at 298 K, keeping in mind
that the reaction is carried
out in an aqueous buffer solution....
