Firefly luciferase is the enzyme that allows fireflies to illuminate their abdomens. Because this light generation is an ATP-requiring reaction, firefly luciferase can be used to test for the presence of ATP. In this way, luciferase can test for the presence of life. The coupled reactions are
1.2.luciferin+O2ATP⇌⇌oxyluciferin+lightAMP+PPiΔG∘=−31.6 kJ/mol
If the overall ΔG∘ of the coupled reaction is -5.50 kJ/mol , what is the equilibrium constant, K, of the first reaction at 23 ∘C ?

(I already have part A but still still include it anyways so you can use its data to solve for parts B and C.
Chemical energy is released or absorbed from reactions in various forms. The most easily measurable form of energy comes in the form of heat, or enthalpy. The enthalpy of a reaction can be calculated from the heats of formation of the substances involved in the reaction:
ΔH∘rxn=ΔH∘f(products)−ΔH∘f(reactants)
Entropy change, ΔS∘, is a measure of the number of energetically equivalent microstates introduced into the system during the reaction. The degree of spontaneity of a reaction is represented by the Gibbs free energy, ΔG∘. The Gibbs free energy depends on both the enthalpy and entropy changes that take place during the reaction:
ΔG∘=ΔH∘−TΔS∘
where T is standard temperature, 298 K.
