Question
The enthalpy of the following reaction at 1.00 atm and 298.15K is -56.9kJmol-1
H* (ag) + OH (ag) →H,Oµ,
When 2mol of an aqueous acid (H* (aq) reacts with 2mol of an aqueous base (OH(a9)
in a thermally isolated constant pressure calorimeter initially at 298.15K, the
temperature was observed to increase to 304.35K.
In the exact same calorimeter, the hydrolysis of 1.7mol of aqueous adenosine 5'-
triphosphate (ATP) caused an increase in temperature from 298.15K to 300.95K.
(a) What is the enthalpy of hydrolysis per mol of ATP?
(b) The hydrolysis of ATP is the primary mechanism by which the energy required
by the human body is released. Assuming that the human body can use all of the
released energy from ATP hydrolysis, how many grams of ATP is necessary to
undergo hydrolysis per day to provide the average human daily energy
requirement of 2000kcals (Molar mass of ATP =507.181gmol-1), assuming no
other source of energy.
