What is the intracellular glucose concentration if the ΔG for the following reaction is -20.1 kJ/mol at 37°C and concentrations for glucose-6-phosphate and phosphate are both 1 mM?
glucose-6-phosphate --------> glucose + Pi ΔG° = -13.8 kJ/mol
A) 1.9 M
B) 87 M
C) 1.9 mM
D) 27 mM
E) 87 mM
The Answer is E. I just need help understanding why it is E. please show all your work. I really need to understand the entire process. Please don't skip over small steps.
ΔG = ΔG0 + RTlnK
ΔG = -20.1KJ/mole = -20100J/mole
ΔG0 = -13.8KJ/mole = -13800J/mole
R = 8.314J/mole-K
T = 37+273 = 310K
ΔG = ΔG0 + RTlnK
-20100 = -13800 + 8.314*310*2.303logK
-20100 = -13800+5935.61logK
-20100+13800 = 5935.61logK
-6300 = 5935.61logK
logK = -6300/5935.61
logK = -1.06
K = 10^-1.06 = 0.087
glucose-6-phosphate --------> glucose + Pi
[glucose-6-phosphate] = 1mM = 0.001M
[pi] = 1mM = 0.001M
K = [glucose][Pi]/[glucose-6-phosphate]
0.087 = [glucose]*0.001/0.001
[glucose] = 0.087M = 87mM >>>>>answer
