Answer to Question #112991 in General Chemistry for c21

Question

A critical reaction in the production of energy to do work or drive chemical reactions in biological systems is the hydrolysis of adenosine triphosphate, ATP, to adenosine diphosphate, ADP, as described by the reaction

ATP(aq)+H2O(l)⟶ADP(aq)+HPO2−4(aq)

for which Δ

Answer 1

Explanation:

Given concentration of:

[ATP] = 5.0 mM = 0.005 M, [ADP] = 0.80 mM = 0.0008 M,

The reaction quotient is given by:

To calculate the ΔG(at 25°C) for given value of Gibbs free energy, we use the relation:

where,

 = Gibbs free energy at given conditions

 = Gibbs free energy at equilibrium=-30.5 kJ/mol

R = Gas constant = 

T = temperature = 

 = reaction quotient at 37°C  = 0.0008

Putting values in above equation, we get:

The ΔG of the reaction is -48.9 kJ/mol. Yes, reaction will be spontaneous under these condition as ΔG is less than zero.
