Document Summary

3. 3 maximal available work that can be obtained from a biochemical rxn. V a a + v b b v c c + v d d where v a/b/c/d are the stoich numbers (positive for products and. If the rxn happens in vitro , it will continue until the equilibrium is reached. In biology, the negative for reactants) substrates and products are often maintained at steady state concentrations as other reactions generate substrate being utilized. The molar free energy change as the rxn proceeds will tell us the maximal nonpv work that can be done. Chemical potential = partial molar g of that component per mole. Extent of parameter quantifies how much reactant has been converted to product. This tells us the amount of maximal work that can be done per each mole of reactant. This is helpful for biological systems because reactions do not usually go to equilibrium - usually kept at steady state.
