Chapter 20, Problem 10P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

To calculate:

The change of standard free energy for the given reaction.

Introduction:

Two components that are closely related forms the Oxidative phosphorylation and they are chemiosmosis and electron transport chain. The electrons are transferred from one molecule to another molecules and the energy that is produced in this transfer is used in the formation of gradient that is electrochemical.

Explanation of Solution

The electron acceptor is O2 and the electron donor is NADH that is determined from the half reactions:

  NAD++2H++2eNADH+H+(E0'=0.320V)

  12O2+2H++2eH2O,(E0'=+0.816V)

The free change of energy for the reaction is calculated by determining the change of the standard potential,

  ΔE0'=acceptorΔE0'donorΔE0'

  =+0.816V(0.320V)=+1.136V

  ΔG0'=nFΔE0'n=2F=96,485kJ/Vmol

  =2(96.485kJ/V.mol)(1.136V)=219.2kJ/mol

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

To calculate:

The equilibrium constant of the reaction.

Introduction:

Two components that are closely related forms the Oxidative phosphorylation and they are chemiosmosis and electron transport chain.

Explanation of Solution

  ΔG0'=RTlnKeqKeq=e ΔG RT

  =e (219.2) (8.314× 10 3 )(298)=2.65×1038

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

To determine:

The release of the actual free energy accompanying the coenzyme Q reductase of NADH is equal to releasing amount under the normal condition

Explanation of Solution

From the given we have,

  G=219.2kJ/mol for 3 ATP

So with 75 % efficiency,

  219.2kJ/mol×0.75=164.4kJ/mol

For 1 ATP,

  54.8kJ/mol

With the equation,

  ΔG=ΔG0+RTln(ATP)(ADP)(Pi)

  (ATP)(ADP)=(Pi)×eΔGΔG 0'RT

  =(2mM)×e (54.830.5) (8.314× 10 3 )(298)=36.4

The ratio of ATP and ADP maximum for the phosphorylation oxidative occurring at Pi =2 mM is 36.4.
