The transfer of electrons in the respiratory chain in the mitochondria can be represented by the reaction:
NADH + H(+) + O2 -> H2O + NAD(+)
A) Calculate delta E for the reaction if:
1) NAD(+) + H(+) + 2e- -> NADH
delta E = -0.320 V
2) O2 + 2H(+) + 2e- -> H2O
delta E = 0.816 V
B) Calculate delta G under standard conditions.

F = 96.5 kJ/V mol
