Understanding the energetics of the aconitase reaction

(Integrates with Chapter 3.) Aconitase catalyzes the citric acid cycle reaction:

citrateisocitrate

The standard free energy change, ΔG°’, for this reaction is +6.7 kJ/mol. However, the observed free energy change (ΔG) for this reaction in pig heart mitochondria is +0.8 kJ/mol. What is the ratio of [isocitrate]/[citrate] in these mitochondria? If [isocitrate] = 0.03 mM, what is [citrate]?
