Abstract

Abstract The thermodynamics of chemical reactions and biochemical reactions (enzyme‐catalysed reactions at specified pH) deals with equilibrium constants K of chemical reactions and apparent equilibrium constants K ’ for biochemical reactions, reduction potentials for chemical half‐reactions, and apparent reduction potentials for biochemical half‐reactions.
