Consider this rxn which has a DG° = +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?

Question

Consider this rxn which has a DG° = +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.

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