Reactions 8 and 1 of the citric acid cycle are considered to be coupled
because the exergonic hydrolysis of the thioester bond of acetyl-CoA in
Reaction 1 drives the regeneration of oxaloacetate in Reaction 8. What is
the equilibrium constant for the coupled reaction? (Express your answer
using 2 significant figures.)
$K_{eq}$(coupled reaction)= i 1.0e+4
Compare this equilibrium constant with the equilibrium constant of
Reaction 8 alone.
$K_{eq}$(uncoupled reaction)= i 1.0e-5
