  • Concept of Osmolality and Milliequivalent

    • The unit for measuring solutes is the mole.
    • One mole is defined as the molecular weight of the solute in grams.
    • A solution's molarity is the number of moles of solute per liter of solution.

  • ATP: Adenosine Triphosphate

    • The calculated ∆G for the hydrolysis of one mole of ATP into ADP and Pi is −7.3 kcal/mole (−30.5 kJ/mol).
    • However, this is only true under standard conditions, and the ∆G for the hydrolysis of one mole of ATP in a living cell is almost double the value at standard conditions: 14 kcal/mol (−57 kJ/mol).

  • Gas Exchange across the Alveoli

    • If glucose alone were used to fuel the body, the RQ would equal one, as one mole of carbon dioxide would be produced for every mole of oxygen consumed.

  • Free Energy

    • The standard free energy change of a chemical reaction is expressed as an amount of energy per mole of the reaction product (either in kilojoules or kilocalories, kJ/mol or kcal/mol; 1 kJ = 0.239 kcal) under standard pH, temperature, and pressure conditions.
