Best Answer

The dephosphorylation of ATP follows the formula:

ATP4- + H2O --> ADP3- + Pi

Where Pi indicates the phosphate ion, H2PO4

The standard Gibbs free energy for the reaction (delta G'o) = -30.5 kJ/mol, indicating dephosphorylation is spontaneous under standard conditions.


The equilibrium constant for the reaction (Ka) = [ADP][Pi]/[ATP] = 2.0 x 105 moles/L.

Yes, it's true. When ATP loses a phosphate group, it breaks down to form ADP. The breaking down produces energy which then could be harnessed.

Is this true or false in a chemiccal change other forms of energy cannot be changed to chemical energy?

This is false.


When the ATP molecules give up a phosphate group it becomes what molecule?

Energy forms because of breakage of high-energy bond between adenosine-diphosohate and a third phosphate bound to it. energy value is not significantly known but is said to have value around 7.3kCal(~30.5kJ). Energy formed is mostly chemical rather than physical.


When ATP loses a phosphate group is released for cells and molecule of forms?

When ATP loses a phosphate group, it is converted into ADP (adenosine diphosphate). This conversion releases energy that can be used by cells for various biochemical processes. The remaining molecule, ADP, can then be converted back into ATP through the process of cellular respiration to restore its energy-storing capacity.
