Question

During a metabolic pathway the following reaction produced 3.00 moles of product. If DG°' for the hydrolysis of ATP is -7.3 kcal/mol, how much energy would be involved?

Answer 1

Hi you have not given reaction, but stated as "During a metabolic pathway the following reaction produced 3.00 moles of product". I hope you are talking about following reaction, if not please immediately put a comment at comment section below the answer window so that i will respond asap! Thanks in advance for your support.

The overall equation for ATP hydrolysis is usually written as:

ATP + H₂O <—-> ADP + P_i

given ΔG⁰' = -7.3 kcal/mol

for 3 moles = 3 mol x -7.3 kcal/mol = -21.9 kcal

how much energy would be involved? = -21.9 kcal (negative sign represents energy is released)

Hope this helped you!
