(A) What is the free energy yield associated with the transport of a proton from the mitochondrial intermembrane space (IMS) to the mitochondrial matrix, assuming that the pH of the IMS is 1.4 units lower than the pH of the matrix? (Hint: Calculate AGO for the reaction H*IMS H*matrix using the relationship AG° = RTInKg and remembering that pH = -log1o[H*]. Assume that T = 310K (37°C), and R = 8.315x10-3 kJ mol-1 K-1.] Show your work and include correct units!)

Expert Solution
Step 1
Given,G = RTlnKeq.
Also given that pH of IMS is 1.4 units lower than pH of the matrix.
R = 8.315*10^-3 KJ/mol K.
T= 310 K ;
Let pH of matrix =x ;
then pH of IMS = (x - 1.4)
