Solved: The nitrite ion (NO2 2) in soil is oxidized to

Chapter 18, Problem 18.138

(choose chapter or problem)

The nitrite ion (NO2 2) in soil is oxidized to nitrate ion (NO3 2) by the bacteria Nitrobacter agilis in the presence of oxygen. The half-reduction reactions are NO2 3 1 2H1 1 2e2 NO2 2 1 H2O E 5 0.42 V O2 1 4H1 1 4e2 2H2O E 5 1.23 V Calculate the yield of ATP synthesis per mole of nitrite oxidized. (Hint: See Section 17.7.)
