I would like you to calculate the Gibbs free energy for ATP hydrolysis in cells. The reaction is ATP + H2O goes to ADP+ phosphate Let's assume these cellular concentrations ATP =2mM(0.002M) ADP =0.2mM(0.0002M)H2?O=45M? phosphate =20mM(0.02M) Recall that the Gibbs free energy is equal to the standard free energy +RT In (concentrations of products/concentrations of substrates; ie, [ADP] ×[ phosphate ]/[ATP]×[H2?O] ) When calculating this let's use the following take the natural log (ln) of the ratio of concentrations, use RT=0.59kcal/mol and use ?7.3kcal/mol for the standard free energy of ATP hydrolysis. Report your value in kcal/mol
