The transport of Na+ ions across a membrane, from a region where the concentration is 1 μM to a region where it is 100 μM, is coupled to the hydrolysis of ATP. Transport is opposed by a membrane potential of 70 mV. Assuming energy coupling is 100% efficient, the hydrolysis of 1 mole of ATP can drive the transport of how many moles of Na+ at 37˚C if the ΔG for ATP hydrolysis is -53.4 kJ/mol under intracellular conditions?
