What is the definition of an equilibrium constant?
What is the definition of an equilibrium constant?
An equilibrium constant is a ratio of the concentrations of products to reactants at equilibrium, with each concentration raised to the power of its coefficient in the balanced equation.
If the equilibrium constant (Keq) for the isomerization of glucose-6-phosphate (G6P) to fructose-6-phosphate (F6P) is 0.428, what does this indicate about the relative concentrations of G6P and F6P at equilibrium?
If the equilibrium constant (Keq) for the isomerization of glucose-6-phosphate (G6P) to fructose-6-phosphate (F6P) is 0.428, what does this indicate about the relative concentrations of G6P and F6P at equilibrium?
A Keq of 0.428 indicates that at equilibrium, the concentration of G6P is greater than that of F6P.
How can you calculate the concentration of fructose-6-phosphate (F6P) at equilibrium if the initial concentration of glucose-6-phosphate (G6P) is 0.1 M?
How can you calculate the concentration of fructose-6-phosphate (F6P) at equilibrium if the initial concentration of glucose-6-phosphate (G6P) is 0.1 M?
Use the equation Keq = [F6P]/[G6P] to find [F6P]: rearranging gives [F6P] = Keq * [G6P] = 0.428 * 0.1 = 0.0428 M.

Study Notes
Equilibrium Constant
- The equilibrium constant (Keq) is a measure of the ratio of products to reactants at equilibrium for a reversible reaction
- The Keq for the isomerisation of glucose-6-phosphate (G6P) to fructose-6-phosphate (F6P) is 0.428 at 25°C
- This means that at equilibrium, there will be more G6P than F6P
Calculating Equilibrium Concentrations
- The initial concentration of G6P is 0.1 M
- F6P is formed only from G6P
- Using the Keq value and the initial concentration of G6P, the equilibrium concentration of F6P can be calculated
