Calculate the standard free-energy change, deltaG°, for the reaction in which acetaldehyde is reduced by the biological electron carrier NADH in the reaction acetaldehyde + NADH + H* → ethanol + NAD*. Then calculate the actual free-energy change, deltaG, when the acetaldehyde is 1.85 M, the NADH is 1.55 M, the ethanol is 0.10 M and the NAD* is 0.10 M, at 28.22°C and pH = 7. Give the actual

This is the value for free FAD; FAD bound to a specific flavoprotein (e.g., succinate dehydrogenase) has a different E" that depends
on its protein environment.

Calculate the standard free-energy change, deltaGo, for the reaction in which acetaldehyde is reduced by the biological electron carrier
NADH in the reaction acetaldehyde + NADH + H* → ethanol + NAD*. Then calculate the actual free-energy change, deltaG, when the
acetaldehyde is 1.85 M, the NADH is 1.55 M, the ethanol is 0.10 M and the NAD* is 0.10 M, at 28.22°C and pH = 7. Give the actual
free-energy change in kJ/mol to one decimal place. See Table 13-7b for the E° values.
