(Solved): A Critical Reaction In The Production Of Energy To Do Work Or Drive Chemical Reactions In Biological ...
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) +H, O(1) ADP(aq) + HPO- (aq) for which AG = -30.5 kJ/mol at 37.0 °C and pH 7.0. Calculate the value of AG rx in a biological cell in which (ATP) = 5.0 mm, (ADP) = 0.20 mM, and (HPO2-) = 5.0 mM. AG = kJ/mol Is the hydrolysis of ATP spontaneous under these conditions? O yes Ono
