The amount of energy the flow H+ ions have EDIT: The speed of the H+ ions
The speed of the H+ ions.
Across the inner membrane. As H+ ions are pumped through ATP synthase, ADP + Pi --> ATP
By the action of electrons going down the electron transfer chain the energy is provided to pump H + into the outer lumen of the mitochondria creating the concentration gradient for H + to come down it's concentration gradient through the ATP synthase.

The intermembrane space.
The energy of the high energy molecules used for every time 2 high energy electrons move down the chain causes the H+ ions to move to the matrix.
The speed of the H+ ions.
The Speed of the H+ ions
The proton gradient produced by the electron transport chain powers ATP production. This process is called chemiosmosis, in which H+ ions from the thylakoid space (in mitochondria they are in the intermembrane space) pass through ATP synthase to areas of lower concentration (in chloroplasts, the stroma, and in mitochondria, the mitochondrial matrix). As they pass through ATP synthase, the catalytic knob of the ATP synthase is turned. The turning of this knob (which is powered by diffusion of H+ ions) powers the anabolic production of ATP.
Energy from the electrons move down the chain is used to move H plus ions across the inner membrane. H plus ions move through channels of ATP synthase in the inner membrane.
