Cells use the hydrolysis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) as a source of energy (Figure 19.16). The conversion of ATP to ADP has a standard free-energy change of –30.5 kJ/mol. If all the free energy from the metabolism of glucose,
C₆H₁₂O₆(s) + 6 O₂(g) 6 CO₂(g) + 6 H₂O(l)
goes into the conversion of ADP to ATP, how many moles of ATP can be produced for each mole of glucose?

Cells use the hydrolysis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to adenosine diphosphate (ADP) as a source of eneryg. Symbolically, this reaction can be represented as. ATP(aq)+H2O=ADP(aq)+H2PO4(aq) For this reaction deltaG⁰=-30.5KJ/mole.

1. Calculate K, the equilibrium constant at 25C

2. If all of the free enrgy from the metabolism of glucose goes into converting ADP back to ATP, how many moles of ATP can be produced for every mole of glucose? (Note: delta G⁰_f for glucose is -911KJ/mole.) C6H12O6(s)+6O2(g)=6CO2+6H20.
