Question

The conversion of ß-hydroxybutyrate, ß-BH-, to acetoacetate, AAc-, is an important biochemical redox reaction that uses molecular oxygen as the ultimate oxidizing agent: ß-BH-+ 1/2O2(g)--->AAc-+H2O. a) Using the standard reduction potentials given in table 4.1, calculate ?G0’ and the equilibrium constant for this system at pH 7 and 25°C. b) In a solution at pH 7 and 25°C saturated at 1 atm with respect to dissolved air (which is 22% oxygen), what is the ratio of [AAc-] to [ß-BH-] at equilibrium? Please explain:)

Explanation / Answer

please provide the table containing standard reduction potentials.
