To analyze:
The difference in energy between the oxidation of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) by oxygen (O2)and sulfur(S).
Introduction:
The change in free energy is Gibbs free energy (∆G°)that is released or utilized in every
Explanation of Solution
In this reaction, the energy produced for the oxidation of NADH by O2 is as follows:-
In this reaction, twoelectrons are being transferred, therefore,
In the other reaction, the energy produced for the oxidation of NADH by S is as follows:-
Substituting the values of reduction potential for S and NADH.
The difference between the energy produced during the oxidation of NADH by O2 and S is:
Therefore, it can be concluded that the difference between the energy produced during oxidation of NADH by O2 and S is -201.68 kJ/mol.
