Ch.15 - Chemical Equilibrium

Chapter 15, Problem 115

The reaction of fumarate with water to form L-malate is catalyzed by the enzyme fumarase; Kc = 3.3 at 37°C. When a reaction mixture with [fumarate] = 1.56 * 10-3 M and [l -malate] = 2.27 * 10-3 M comes to equilibrium in the presence of fumarase at 37 °C, what are the equilibrium concentrations of fumarate and L-malate? (Water can be omit- ted from the equilibrium equation because its concentration in dilute solutions is essentially the same as that in pure water.)
