4. Bacteria can oxidize glucose (C6H12O6) to CO2(g) in the presence of O2(g). Write the overall balanced reaction and determine which direction the reaction will go for a glucose concentration of 1 mM, pH 8, Po2 = 0.21 atm, and HCO3- equal to 10 uM. = 6CO2(g) +24H+ + 24e- = glucose + 6H2O CO2(g) + H2O = H2CO3* H2CO3* = HCO3- + H+ O2(g) + 4H+ + 4e* = 2H2O E = -0.012 V Ky = 10-1.5 mol/L-atm Kat = 10-6.35 E = 1.226 V *
