Chapter 27, Problem 4P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The change in Gibbs free energy for the given reaction needs to be determined. The number of ATP molecules formed under standard conditions needs to be determined.

Concept introduction:

The relation between the change in Gibbs free energy and standard redox potential is as follows:

  $\Delta G=-nF\Delta E_{°}$

Here, n is number of electrons transferred, F is Faraday’s number and $\Delta E_{°}$ is standard redox potential.
