    The correct answer is that less free energy will be released.

    This would happen because, usually the high negative charge density associated with the three adjacent P (phosphate) units of ATP destabilizes the molecule, making it higher in energy. In an acidic solution that no longer carries negative charges, ATP molecule will have less energy.
