Question 1

(Multiple Choice)

Given the following reaction, what can be said about the equilibrium concentrations of the components of the reaction? (do not assume that concentrations began at standard conditions)
Pyruvate + NADH + H+ Given the following reaction, what can be said about the equilibrium concentrations of the components of the reaction? (do not assume that concentrations began at standard conditions) Pyruvate + NADH + H<sup>+</sup>   Lactate + NAD<sup>+</sup> ΔG°′ = −25.2 kJ/mol A) [pyruvate] > [NADH] B) [pyruvate] < [NAD<sup>+</sup>] C) [NAD<sup>+</sup>] > [NADH] D) [pyruvate] > [lactate] E) cannot determine
Lactate + NAD+
ΔG°′ = −25.2 kJ/mol


A) [pyruvate] > [NADH]
B) [pyruvate] < [NAD+]
C) [NAD+] > [NADH]
D) [pyruvate] > [lactate]
E) cannot determine

Answer

E
