What is the free energy, Delta G, for the overall reaction, A <—> D?

by admin on 13. Apr, 2010 in free energy

Consider these hypothetical chemical reactions:

1. A <—> B, Delta G = 12.6 kJ/mol
2. B <—> C, Delta G = -28.4 kJ/mol
3. C <—> D, Delta G = 7.60 kJ/mol

What is the free energy, Delta G, for the overall reaction, A <—> D?
Express your answer numerically in kilojoules per mole.

The B’s cancel out. The C’s cancel out. Therefore all you have to do is ADD the Delta G’s for all three processes.
