Cytochrome, represented here as C y F e 2 + , reacts with the air we breathe to supply energy required to synthesize adenosine triphosphate

Cytochrome, represented here as CyFe2+, reacts with the air we breathe to supply energy required to synthesize adenosine triphosphate (ATP).
At pH7.0 the following reduction potentials pertain to the oxidation of CyFe2+ :
O2(g)+4H+(aq)+4e-2H2O(l),Eredo=+0.82V
CyFe3+(aq)+e-CyFe2+(aq),Ered=+0.22V
What is the G for the oxidation of CyFe2+ by air? If the synthesis of 1.00mol of ATP from adenosine diphosphate (ADP) requires G of 37.7kJ, how many moles of ATP are synthesized per molO2?
