Below are the paired reduction reactions for chemolithotrophic denitrification: these organisms are using nitrate as an electron accepter and are using hydrogen gas as a source of energy and electrons. - 2NO3+10e>N2 (+0.74 volts) - 2H++2e>H2 (-0.42 volts) Using the information given, calculate the E for this reaction, balance the full reaction to determine n, the number of electrons transfered when 58 moles of H2 are oxidized. Finally, use the simplified Nernst Equation G=nFE,whereF=96.5kJ(eV)1 to determine the Gibbs Free energy available to do work! - Report your answer in kJ in standard decimal notation rounded to two decimal places. - Including trailing zeros, even if it is a whole number - e.g. 18.00, not 18 - Report only the numeric portion of your answer - e.g. 1.01, not 1.01kj per mole. - Answers should ALWAYS be negative since this is a spontaneous reaction
