Answer:
93 moles
Explanation:
The breakdown of 1 mole of glucose is shown by the reaction shown below:
[tex]C_6H_{12}O_6+6O_2\rightarrow 6CO_2+6H_2O\ \Delta G^0=-2880 kJ/mol[/tex]
It means that 1 mole of breakdown of glucose produces 2880 kJ of energy.
The reaction of the phosphorylation of ADP to ATP is shown below as:
[tex]ADP+H_3PO_4\rightarrow ATP\ \Delta G^0=31 kJ/mol[/tex]
It means that 1 mole of ADP needs 31 kJ of energy to convert into 1 mole of ATP
Which also means that:
31 kJ of energy is required to form 1 mole of ATP from ADP
1 kJ of energy is required to form [tex]\frac {1}{31}[/tex] mole of ATP from ADP
2880 kJ of energy is required to form [tex]\frac {1}{31}\times 2880[/tex] mole of ATP from ADP
Thus moles of ATP form ≅ 93 moles
