Free Energy of Activation and Role of Catalysts | Enzymes

In this article we will discuss about the free energy of activation and the role of catalysts. An exergonic reaction is a spontaneous reaction; it can therefore yield energy usable for chemical, mechanical or electrical work. However, it should be remembered that spontaneous does not mean rapid, but only without exter­nal energy input. A spontaneous exergonic reaction can be extremely [...]

Equilibrium Constant of a Reaction and Free Energy Change

In this article we will discuss about the equilibrium constant of a reaction and free energy charge. Any chemical reaction will reach an equilibrium after a sufficient time. A reversible reaction may be written: The velocity of the reaction which will produce C and D is written: v1 = k1 [A][B] and that of the reaction producing A and B [...]
