Cytochrome, a complicated molecule that we will represent as CyFe2+, reacts with the air we breathe to supply energy required to synthesize adenosine triphosphate (ATP). At pH 7.0 the following reduction potentials pertain to this oxidation of CyFe2+:
O2(g) + 4 H+(aq) + 4 e- �¨ 2 H2O(l);
E�‹red = +0.82 V
CyFe3+(aq) + e- �¨ CyFe2+(aq);
E�‹red = +0.22 V
a) What is ĢG for the oxidation of CyFe2+ by air?
b) If the synthesis of 1.00 mol of ATP from (ADP) requires a ĢG of 37.7 kJ, now many moles of ATP are synthesized per mole of O2.
I know for part a you have to add the two Es but after that I'm not sure

What are the funny symbols?
sorry the symbols with the f are delta G
Mastering chemistry homework? Haha.
E^(zero)cell= Cathode-Anode
E^(zero)cell= 0.82V-.22V= 0.6V
Delta G= -n*F*E^(zero)cell
Delta G= -4*96485*0.6
Delta G= -231.564 J or -232 kJ
E^(zero)cell= Cathode-Anode
E^(zero)cell= 0.82V-.22V= 0.6V
Delta G= -n*F*E^(zero)cell
