    Question

    For the coupled reaction given below, the equilibrium constants 

    (Keq)(K_{eq})(Keq) for equation [1][1][1] and equation [2][2][2] are 270 and 890, respectively.

    The standard free energy of hydrolysis of ATP at 25°C is:

    A.

    (-24 to -26) kJ/mol

    B.

    (-18 to -20) kJ/mol

    C.

    (-30 to -32) kJ/mol

    D.

    (-60 to -62) kJ/mol

    Correct option is C

    The given question requires calculating the standard free energy of hydrolysis of ATP at 25°C using the equilibrium constants provided.

    Given Data:

    Let's calculate the standard free energy of hydrolysis of ATP.

    • Keq1=270K_{eq1} = 270Keq1  = 270 (for reaction 1)
    • Keq2 =  890 (for reaction 2)

    • The relationship for equilibrium constant in coupled reactions: Keq=Keq1×Keq2K_{eq} = K_{eq1} \times K_{eq2}Keq=Keq1×Keq2K_{eq} = K_{eq1} \times K_{eq2}
    • Standard Gibbs free energy equation:ΔG∘=−RTln⁡Keq\Delta G^\circ = -RT \ln K_{eq}
       ΔG=RTlnKeq\Delta G^\circ = -RT \ln K_{eq}​​
      • R=8.314R = 8.314R=8.314 J/mol·K
      • T=298T = 298T=298 K (25°C)
      • ln⁡Keq\ln K_{eq}lnKeq needs to be computed.

    The calculated standard free energy of hydrolysis of ATP at 25°C is approximately -30.7 kJ/mol.

    Correct Answer:

    Option 3: (-30 to -32) kJ/mol

    Solution:

    Using the Gibbs free energy equation:

    ΔG=RTlnKeq

    Substituting the values:

    ΔG∘=−(8.314×298)×ln⁡(270×890)

    ΔG−30.7 kJ/mol

    Thus, the correct answer is option 3.​
