16. Chemical Equilibrium / Calculating K For Overall Reaction / Problem 3

The following reaction is a vital step in the metabolism of glucose: glucose + ATP ⇌ glucose-6-phosphate + ADP

Determine the equilibrium constant for the above reaction using the related equilibrium constants:

glucose + Pi ⇌ glucose-6-phosphate, K = 3.114 × 10–3

ATP ⇌ ADP + Pi, K = 2.716 × 105
