The following table shows the concentration of ATP, ADP and phosphate into two different tissues, skeletal muscle and liver.

Under defined standard conditions (37°C and pH 7), the change of free energy for the hydrolysis of ATP into ADP + Phosphate is

Reactants Muscle (mmol.L-1) Liver (mmol.L-1)
ATP 8.05 3.38
ADP 0.93 1.32
Phosphate 8.05 4.8
Note: we are under standard transformed conditions (standard conditions + pH 7).

Revised equation: delta G naught prime = -RTln(K’eq)

Calculate the change of free energy expressed in kJ.mol-1) for the hydrolysis of ATP in both tissues. Note: The reactions in tissues occur at 37°C.
