Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The large negative standard free energy change for the given reaction is due to the decrease in negative charge repulsion in the products compared to the reactants. This is because the ATP molecule has multiple negatively charged phosphate groups, which repel each other. In the reaction, the phosphate groups are separated into ADP and Pi, reducing the repulsive forces and releasing energy. The other choices (A, B, and C) are not relevant to the large negative standard free energy change observed in this reaction.
