) The pyruvate kinase in red blood cells has a standard free energy change of -31.4kJ/mol. a. What is the equilibrium constant for the reaction at 25oC b. Calculate the actual free energy change for the reaction under the following conditions. [phosphonolpyruvate] = 0.023 mM, [pyruvate]= 0.051 mM, [ATP] = 1.0 mM, and [ADP] = 0.1 mM. Is the reaction favorable under these conditions?
