some species of bacteria can oxidize nitrite to nitrate using the energy released by the transfer of electrons to oxygen to drive ATP synthesis. Given the E values below, calculate the max yield of ATP per mole of nitrite oxidized.
NO3 + 2H+ + 2e ---> NO2 +H2O, E= +0.42 V
O2 + 2H+ + 2e ----> H2O, E= +0.82 V
