Answer:
-219.99kJ
Explanation:
The acronym '' NADH'' simply stands for what is known as coenzyme 1 with full meaning of Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide Hydride. This substance is useful in the production of energy. The oxidation reaction of NADH causes it to produce NADP⁺ and the oxygen produces water when it is in the reduction process. The balanced equation for the oxidation reaction is given below as:
NADPH ---------------------------------------------------------------------> NADP⁺H⁺ + 2e⁻.
Also, the balanced equation for the reduction reaction is given below as:
O₂ + 2H⁺ + 2e⁻ --------------------------------------------------------------> H₂O.
It can be shown from the above REDOX reaction that the total number of electrons getting transferred is 2.
The Gibbs energy = -nFE. where n = 2, F = faraday's constant = 96485.3329 C and E = overall cell potential.
The overall cell potential = E[ reduction reaction] - E[oxidation reaction] = 0.82 - (- 0.32 ) = 1.14 V.
Hence, the Gibbs energy = - 2 × 96485.3329 × 1.14 = -219.99kJ
