Moles of ATP from Oxidation of Ethanol
Not what you're looking for?
Given the info below, what is the number of moles of ATP that could be synthesized from ADP and Pi (deltaG° = 7700 cal/mol) upon complete oxidation of one mole of ethanol to 2 CO2 and 3 H2O? (with an assumed efficiency of 37%)
Glucose ---> 2 ethanol + 2 CO2 deltaG°= -55,000 cal/mol
Glucose + 6 O2 ---> 6C02 + 6H20 deltaG° = -686,000 cal/mol
