Question

Combustion of glucose (

C6H12O6

) is the main source of energy for animal cells:

 

C6H12O6
(
s
)
+  6O2
(
g
)
→  6CO2
(
g
)
+  6H2O
(
l
)
=ΔGrxn37°C−2872.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 

−51.3/kJmol

. Calculate the maximum number of 

ATP

s that could be created from 

ADPs

 and 

Pi

 by the combustion of a molecule of glucose. Your answer must be a whole number.
