ATP - Equation Heat of Formation ... Please Help ?

Question

The primary energy molecule in cells is ATP (adenosine triphosphate, C10H15N5O13P3). Write out the standard heat of formation reaction for this important biomolecule.

Please explain how to write the heat of formation for ATP ...

What are the products of the reaction?

Answer 1

the standard heat of formation reaction forms 1 mole of what ever you wish , in what ever form you wish (solid, liquid or gas),...

but forms what you wish from elements in their most common state where their dHf = 0

10 C (s, graphite) & 7.5  H2(g) & 2.5 N2 (g) & 6.5 O2 (g) & 3 P (s,white)  --> 1 ATP

that's your answer
