ATP stores energy through its ability to lose a phosphate group to form ADP in the following reactionATP+H2O→ADP+phosphateAt body temperature, the thermodynamic values for ATP hydrolysis are as follow.ΔG = –30kJ/molΔH = –20kJ/molΔS = 34kJ/molGlycolysis is an energy-liberating process (ΔG = –218kJ/mol, ΔH = –20 kJ/mol) that is coupled with the conversion of two ADP molecules into two ATP molecules according to the following reaction.Glucose+2ADP+2phosphate→2lactate+2ATP+2H2O What is the value of ΔG (in kJ/mol) for the reaction?
