A critical reaction in the production of energy to do work or drive chemical reactions in biological systems is the hydrolysis of adenosine triphosphate, ATP, to adenosine diphosphate, ADP, as described by the reactionATP(aq)+ H2O(l) → ADP(aq)+ HPO4^-2 (aq)for which ΔGrxn = -30.5 kj/mol at 37.0C and pH 7.0. Required:a. Calculate the value of ΔGrxn in a biological cell in which [ATP] = 5.0 mM, [ADP] = 0.30 mM, and HPO4^-2= 5.0mMb. Is the hydrolysis of ATP spontaneous under these conditions?

Δ = −51. 4 kJ/mol

However, since Δ is negative. The hydrolysis of ATP for this reaction is said to be spontaneous

Explanation:

From the question; The equation for this reaction can be represented as :

where:

-30.5 kJ/mol

= -30.5 kJ/mol × 1000 J/ 1 kJ

= -30.5 × 10 ⁻³ J/mol

Temperature T = 37 ° C

= (37+273)

= 310 K

pH = 7.0

[ATP] = 5.0 mM

= 5.0mM × 1M/1000mM

= 0.005 M

[ADP] = 0.30 mM

= 0.30 mM × 1M/1000mM

= 0.0003 M

= 5.0 mM

= 5.0mM × 1M/1000mM

= 0.005 M

The objective is to calculate the value for Δ in the biological cell and to determine if the hydrolysis  of  ATP is spontaneous under these conditions.

Now;

From the equation given; the equilibrium constant can be expressed as:

The  Δ in the biological cell can now be calculated as:

Δ =

Δ =

Δ = −51406.68 J/mol

Δ = −51. 4 × 10³ J/mol

Δ = −51. 4 kJ/mol

Thus since Δ is negative. The hydrolysis for this reaction is said to be spontaneous

answer: any goods being imported from another country may be subject to issued by the federal government are tariffs

explanation:  

tariffs are a tax on anything that are imported from abroad. government use them to protect and boost their local industries and the thought is that they encourage consumers to buy local instead of importing and they will hope will protect jobs and economy in the country that implements them
