If the mitochondrial electric potential between the matrix and the intermembrane space were 42 mV, how much ATP could be synthesized from the transport of 4.5 mol H+, assuming the pH difference between the matrix and the intermembrane space is -1.5? Note that the standard Gibbs energy for the hydrolysis of ATP to ADP is -31 kJ/mol.
