Combining deltaG values under standard and non-standard conditions.

1) If the overall deltaG of the following reaction is -5.3Kcal/M and we know that the deltaG for the conversion of ADP + Pi ---> ATP is +7.3Kcal/M, what must the deltaG be for the conversion of PEP ----> pyruvate? Phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) + ADP ----> pyruvate + ATP 2) Working in the lab, you determine the deltaG0 for t ...continues

How much chlorine needs to be added to obtain a 1 ppm level of chlorine in a swimming pool?

A solution used to chlorinate a home swimming pool contains 7% chlorine by mass. An ideal chlorine level for the pool is one part per million (think of 1 ppm as being 1 g chlorine per million grams of water. Assume densities of 1.10 g/ml for the chlorine solution and 1.00 g/ml for the swimming pool water, what volume of the chlo ...continues
