Cells use the hydrolysis of adenosine triphosphate, abbreviated as ATP, as a source of energy. Symbolically, this reaction can be represented as

ATP(aq) + H2O(l) → ADP(aq) + H2PO4−(aq)
where ADP represents adenosine diphosphate. For this reaction
ΔG° = −30.5 kJ/mol.

(b) If all the free energy from the metabolism of glucose
C6H12O6(s) + 6 O2(g) → 6 CO2(g) + 6 H2O(l)
goes into the production of ATP, how many ATP molecules can be produced for every molecule of glucose?

___________ molecules
