Combustion of glucose (C H,0) is the main source of energy for animal cells: CH1206(s) + 60,(g) 6 CO,(g) + 6 H,O(1) AG,,(37 °C) -2872. kJ One of the most important uses to which this energy is put is the assembly of proteins out of amino acid building blocks. The Gibbs free energy of formation of one peptide bond, joining one amino acid to another, is 21 kJ/mol. Suppose some cells are assembling a certain protein made of 28 amino acids. (Note that the number of peptide bonds in the protein will be one less than the number of amino acids.) Calculate the maximum moles of this protein that can be assembled if 350. mg of glucose are available for combustion. Round your answer to 2 significant digits.

Make a non-spontaneous process spontaneous A process that is nonspontaneous can be made spontaneous by coupling it with another process tha is highly spontaneous. The coupling of nonspontaneous reactions with highly spontaneous ones is important in biological system. The oxidization of glucose, for example, is highly spontaneous: C6H12O6(s) + 60₂(g) → 6 CO₂(g) + 6 H₂O(1) Spontaneous reactions such as this ultimately drive the nonspontaneous reactions necessary to sustain life. Can you use Gibbs free energy, enthalpy, and entropy to argue this reaction is highly spontaneous?
