Fructose 1,6-bisphosphate is converted to two products with a standard free energy of 23.8 kJ/mol.Under what condition(s)will this reaction become spontaneous?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The conversion of fructose 1,6-bisphosphate to two products has a positive standard free energy change, indicating that it is non-spontaneous under standard conditions. For the reaction to become spontaneous, the surroundings must drive the reaction in the forward direction by increasing the concentration of reactants or decreasing the concentration of products. Therefore, the reaction will become spontaneous when there is a low concentration of products relative to the concentration of fructose 1,6-bisphosphate (choice D).
