Question

In one of the steps in this pathway fructose 1,6-biphosphate (F1,6BP) is converted to gylceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G-3-p) and dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP). This reaction is catalyzed by the enzyme aldolase. 

For this reaction at 25 celcuius and Ph7 we have: 

Keq= 10-4M and Delta G = +5456 cal/mol 

Calculate the following: 

The concentration of F1, 6BP, DHAP and G-3-P at equilibrium when the initial F1,6BP is (A) 1M, (b) 10-2 M, (c) 2 X 10*4 M and (d) 10-5 M. 

 

I been trying to solve this problem but I dont even know where to begin with. Atleast help me with problem A, I would be able to guide myself through.
