a. Use the chemical half reactions for free energy changes (deltaG0 standard conditions of pH=7.0 and 25o) to determine the free energy change from hydrogen (H2) oxidation by molecular oxygen (O2) to produce H2O.
b. Is the overall Redox reaction endothermic or exothermic?
c. Compare the value for the change in free energy in part (a) with the value for the change in free energy resulting from the oxidation of glucose by molecular oxygen that occurs in biological systems.
d. Can one tell from the results of a thermodynamic analysis if the rate of the glucose + O2 reaction is faster than the rate of the H2 + O2 reaction?
A)
2H2 (g) ---> 4 H+ (aq) + 4e- E0 = 0 Volts [occurs at cathode]
O2(g) + 4 H+(aq) + 4 e– 2 H2O [ccours at anone] E0 = -1.229 V
Ecell = Ecathode - Eanode
= (0) - (-1.229)
= 1.229 V
delta G = -nF E0cell [where n = number of electrons involved in the reaction, 1 faraday = (96458 C/mol e- ]
= - 4 * (96458 C/mol e-) * 1.229
= -474187.528 KJ
B). Since delta G value is negative value its exothermic reaction
C)
C6H12O6(s) + 6 O2(g) → 6 CO2(g) + 6 H2O(l)
The free energy for the oxidation of glucose to CO₂ and water is -2870.1448 kJl/mol (obtained from literature = -686 kcal/mol )
Comparing this with value obatined in part (a), the value for the change in free energy resulting from the oxidation of glucose by molecular oxygen is less than that of oxidation of hydrogen to yield water
part (d)
Based on the delta G values for both reactions, its evident that oxidation of hydrogen to yield water is more faster and spontaneous than the oxidation of glucose, since more negative is the delta G value more spontaneous the recation is.

Many chemical reactions release energy, while others require energy to happen. These energy changes that occur during chemical reactions are due to changes in bonding between the reactant molecules and product molecules. Breaking bonds between atoms always requires energy, while creating bonds between atoms always releases energy. Analyze each of the two chemical reactions below by calculating the total amount of energy needed to break the bonds in the reactants, the total amount of energy released upon bond formation in...

TRODUCTION Chemical processes occur spontaneously when they lower the free energy of the system. The free energy at constant temperature and ressure is the Gibbs free energy, AG, which is defined as follows: AG = AH - TAS where AG is the change in free energy of the system, AH is the change in enthalpy of the system and AS is the change in entropy of the system AG, the change in free energy, must be less than zero for...
