Kilocalorie per mole
The kilocalorie per mole is a unit to measure an amount of
of substance. The unit symbol is written kcal/mol or kcal⋅mol−1. As typically measured, one kcal/mol represents a temperature increase of one degree Celsius in one liter of water (with a mass of 1 kg) resulting from the reaction of one mole of reagents.In
Boltzmann's equation
.
Even though it is not an SI unit, the kilocalorie per mole is still widely used in
ATP to form glucose-6-phosphate and ADP, the free energy of reaction is −4.0 kcal/mol using the pH = 7 standard state.[2]
