Answer:
7.3 K cal / mol
Explanation:
Adenosine triphosphate(ATP) is the energy currency of the cell. It is the most important energy carrier which carries energy in the two terminal phosphate bonds(called as high energy bonds or energy-rich bonds). Equal amounts of usable energy are released per mole of ATP or ADP hydrolysis:
ATP+H2O⇌ADP+Pi+7.3Kcalmol−1
ADP+H2O⇌AMP+Pi+7.3Kcalmol−1
So the correct answer is '7.3Kcalmol−1'.

The bond between two phosphate groups is a Phosphoanhydride bond which is considered as high energy bond. So ATP has only two high energy Bond Phosphoanhydride bond. The energy released is 7300 cal/mol..
