Interpretation:
The number of moles of ATP a human body can produce from sugar in a bushel of medium sized red delicious apple is to be calculated.
Concept introduction:
Molecular mass of a compound is the molar mass of atoms of every atom in the compound. The formula to calculate moles is,
Answer to Problem 99A
The number of moles of ATP a human body can produce from sugar in a bushel of medium sized red delicious apple is 3.384 mol.
Explanation of Solution
A medium sized apple contains 17.0 g of glucose. Molecular formula of glucose is
Now, the mass of glucose is to be multiplied with a suitable conversion factor to calculate moles of glucose present in medium sized apple.
A human body produces 36 moles of ATP from 1 mole of sugar. So, moles of ATP in 0.094 mol is,
Hence, mole of ATP produced from red medium sized apple is 3.384 mol.
From a medium sized apple, human body can produce 3.384 moles of ATP.
