Gastric juice is made up of substances secreted from parietal cells, chief cells, and mucous-secreting cells. The cells secrete

HCl, proteolytic enzyme zymogens, mucin, and intrinsic factor. The pH of gastric juice is acidic, between 1-3. If the pH of gastric juice is 2.1, what is the amount of energy (?G) required for the transport of hydrogen ions from a cell (internal pH of 7.4) into the stomach lumen? Assume that the potential difference across the membrane separating the cell and the interior of the stomach is �60.0 mV (inside of cells negative relative to the lumen of the stomach).
Assume that the temperature is 37 �C.

The Faraday constant is 96.5 kJ�V�1�mol�1 and the gas constant is 8.314� 10�3 kJ�mol�1�K�1. Express your answer in kJ/mol.

Answer:

The amount of energy required to transport hydrogen ions from a cell into the stomach is 37.26KJ/mol.

Explanation:

The free change for the process can be written in terms of its equilibrium constant as:

ΔG° = -RTInK_(eq)

where:

R= universal gas constant

T= temperature

K_eq= equilibrum constant for the process

Similarly, free energy change and cell potentia; are related to each other as follows;

ΔG= -nFE°

from above;

F = faraday's constant

n = number of electrons exchanged in the process; and  

E = standard cell potential

∴ The amount of energy required for transport of hydrogen ions from a cell into stomach lumen can be calculated as:

ΔG° = -RTInK_(eq)

where;

[texK_eq[/tex]=\frac{[H^+]_(cell)}{[H^+(stomach lumen)]}

For transport of ions to an internal pH of 7.4, the transport taking place can be given as:

H^+_{inside} ⇒ H^+_{outside}

Equilibrum constant for the transport is given as:

K_{eq}=\frac{[H^+]_{outside}}{[H^+]_{inside}}

=\frac{[H^+]_{cell}}{[H^+]_{stomach lumen}}

[H^+]_{cell}= 10⁻⁷⁴

=3.98 * 10⁻⁸M

[H^+]_{stomach lumen} = 10⁻²¹

=7.94 * 10⁻³M

Hence;

K_{eq}=\frac{[H^+]_{cell}}{[H^+]_{stomachlumen}}

=\frac{3.98*10^{-8}}{7.94*10{-3}}

= 5.012 × 10⁻⁶

Furthermore, free energy change for this reaction is related to the equilibrium concentration given as:

ΔG° = -RTInK_(eq)

If temperature T= 37° C ; in kelvin

=37° C + 273.15K

=310.15K; and

R-= 8.314 j/mol/k

substituting the values into the equation we have;

ΔG₁ = -(8.314J/mol/K)(310.15)TIn(5.0126*10^{-6})

= 31467.93Jmol⁻¹

≅ 31.47KJmol⁻¹

If the potential difference across the cell membrane= 60.0mV.

Energy required to cross the cell membrane will be:

ΔG₂ = -nFE°_{membrane}

ΔG₂ = -(1 mol)(96.5KJ/mol/V)(60*10^{-3})

= 5.79KJ

Therefore, for one mole of electron transfer across the membrane; the energy required is 5.79KJmol⁻¹

Now, we  can calculate the total amount of energyy required to transport H⁺ ions across the membrane:

Δ G_{total} = G_{1}+G_{2}

= (31.47+5.79) KJmol⁻¹

= 37.26KJmol⁻¹

We can therefore conclude that;

   The amount of energy required to transport ions from cell to stomach lumen is 37.26KJmol⁻¹

I believe sam's response is correct.
When human is riding a moving target with constant speed over a period of time, we tend to have  a visual acceleration perception due to our optical movement.
This make people such as Carrie believes that the carousel horses are accelerating while it actually stayed at constant pace.
