In a typical human cell at 37°C, the concentration of ATP is 3.5E-3M, ADP = 4.5E-3M, and Pi (HPO4 2-) = 7.6E-3M. Remember that living cells are NOT at equilibrium.

ATP + H2O -> ADP + Pi

a. What is the actual free energy change (ΔG') for ATP hydrolysis under these physiological conditions? ΔG0' for ATP hydrolysis = -30kJ/mol

b. In which direction will the reaction proceed under these conditions? Why?
