Using Table 10-2 values, (a) what do you predict from the standard reduction potentials about the direction electrons will tend to flow between NADH and O2,

and (b) using the equation calculate the standard free energy change (?G°) associated with the transfer of electrons between NADH and O2. Reaction: O2 + 2 NADH + 2H+ = 2 H2O + 2 NAD+ Equation: ?G° = ?nF?E0' [n is the number of electrons transferred; F is the Faraday constant (23,062 cal/mol-V)
