Question : Assertion : During the hydrolysis of typical chemical bonds, about 3000 calories per mole are liberated. Reason: ATP also yeilds about 3000 calories per mole after the release of any one of the two terminal phophate.

Question : Assertion : During the hydrolysis of typical chemical bonds

1.	Question : Assertion : During the hydrolysis of typical chemical bonds, about 3000 calories per mole are liberated. Reason: ATP also yeilds about 3000 calories per mole after the release of any one of the two terminal phophate.
Answer» Solution :During the hydrolysis of typical chemical bonds, about 3000 CALORIES per mole are liberated. The relase of any ONE of the two terminal phosphates of ATP yields about 7300 calories per mole, instead of the 3000 calories from common chemical bonds. The standard free energy of hydrolysis of ATP to ADP and phosphate is -7.30K cal at PH 7.0 and temperature `37^(@)C` in the presence of excess `Mg^(2+)`
