Question

Consider this rxn which has a ΔG° = +0.4 kJ/mol. succinate + FAD ↔ fumarate + FADH₂_??1 mM of each compound are mixed & the reaction is allowed to come to equilibrium. Which statement is correct about the resulting concentration of FAD at equilibrium? A) [FAD] > [FADH₂] B) [FAD] < [FADH₂] C) [FAD] = [FADH₂] D) Cannot be determined from the information provided.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Since ΔG° is positive, the reaction is not spontaneous in the forward direction under standard conditions, indicating that at equilibrium, the concentration of reactants (FAD) will be greater than the concentration of products (FADH₂).
