Combustion of glucose (C6H12O6) is the main source of energy for animal cells: C6H12O6(s)+ 6O2(g)→ 6CO2(g)+ 6H2O(l) =ΔGrxn37°C−2

872.kJ This energy is generally stored as ATP (adenosine triphosphate) molecules, which can release it when convenient by hydrolysis ("water-assisted decomposition") into ADP (adenosine diphosphate) molecules and a phosphate anion, often given the symbol Pi in biochemistry: ATP(aq)→ ADP(aq)+ Pi (aq) =ΔGrxn−35 to 70kJ The actual amount of free energy released by the hydrolysis of ATP varies, depending on the exact conditions inside the cell. Suppose under certain conditions hydrolysis of ATP actually releases −41.9/kJmol. Calculate the maximum number of ATPs that could be created from ADPs and Pi by the combustion of a molecule of glucose. Your answer must be a whole number.

Answer:

The maximum number of ATPs that could be created from ADPs and Pi by the combustion of a molecule of glucose is 68.

Explanation:

C_6H_{12}O_6(s)+6O_2(g)\rightarrow 6CO_2(g)+6H_2O(l),\Delta G_{rxn}=-2872.kJ/mol

2872 kJ of heat is released when 1 mole of glucose undergoes combustion.This energy store is released in in the form of ATP molecules.

When all of energy in the form of ATP undergoes hydrolysis gives ADP  molecules and a phosphate anion along with release 41.9 kJ of energy.

ATP(aq) → ADP(aq)+ Pi (aq) ,\Delta G_{rxn}=-41.9 kJ/mol

ADP(aq)+ Pi (aq) → ATP(aq) ,\Delta G_{rxn}=41.9 kJ/mol

41.9 kJ of energy is required convert 1 mole of ADP and 1 mol of phosphate anion into 1 mol of ATP.

The maximum number of ATPs:

\frac{2872 kJ/mol}{41.9 kJ/mol}=68.54\approx 68

I was checking my answers for a chem test and came across a solution for a problem where the ∆S was pos, ∆H was neg and ∆G was n

Answer:

there is only 15 points

Explanation:

The second law of thermodynamics says that the entropy of the universe always increases for a spontaneous process: \Delta \text {S}_{\text{universe}}=\Delta \text {S}_{\text{system}} + \Delta \text {S}_{\text{surroundings}} > 0ΔS

At constant temperature and pressure, the change in Gibbs free energy is defined as \Delta \text G = \Delta \text H - \text{T}\Delta \text SΔG=ΔH−TΔSdelta, start text, G, end text, equals, delta, start text, H, end text, minus, start text, T, end text, delta, start text, S, end text.

When \Delta \text GΔGdelta, start text, G, end text is negative, a process will proceed spontaneously and is referred to as exergonic.

The spontaneity of a process can depend on the temperature.

Spontaneous processes

In chemistry, a spontaneous processes is one that occurs without the addition of external energy. A spontaneous process may take place quickly or slowly, because spontaneity is not related to kinetics or reaction rate. A classic example is the process of carbon in the form of a diamond turning into graphite, which can be written as the following reaction:

Why the bonds between nonmentals tend to be covalent
natita [175]
Ionic bonds form when a nonmetal and a metal exchange electrons, while covalent bonds form when electrons are shared between two nonmetals. An ionic bond is a type of chemical bond formed through an electrostatic attraction between two oppositely charged ions.
