Adding an atom will increase the repulsion between existing atoms and lone pairs. Added atom will result in bond pair-bond pair and bond pair-lone pair repulsion. The magnitude of the lone pair-bond pair repulsion is greater than the bond pair-bond pair repulsion. The added atom will change the electron geometry and bring about a distortion in the molecular geometry.
Answer:
Explanation:
Firstly, write the expression for the equilibrium constant of this reaction:
Secondly, we may relate the change in Gibbs free energy to the equilibrium constant using the equation below:
From here, rearrange the equation to solve for K:
Now we know from the initial equation that:
Let's express the ratio of ADP to ATP:
Substitute the expression for K:
Now we may use the values given to solve:
The answer to this question is C: the ability to memorize
Hope this helps :)
