The equilibrium membrane potential is 41.9 mV.

To calculate the membrane potential, we use the <em>Nernst Equation</em>:

<em>V</em>_Na = (<em>RT</em>)/(<em>zF</em>) ln{[Na]_o/[Na]_ i}

where

• <em>V</em>_Na = the equilibrium membrane potential due to the sodium ions

• <em>R</em> = the universal gas constant [8.314 J·K^(-1)mol^(-1)]

• <em>T</em> = the Kelvin temperature

• <em>z</em> = the charge on the ion (+1)

• <em>F </em>= the Faraday constant [96 485  C·mol^(-1) = 96 485 J·V^(-1)mol^(-1)]

• [Na]_o = the concentration of Na^(+) outside the cell

• [Na]_i = the concentration of Na^(+) inside the cell

∴ <em>V</em>_Na =

[8.314 J·K^(-1)mol^(-1) × 293.15 K]/[1 × 96 485 J·V^(-1)mol^(-1)] ln(142 mM/27 mM) = 0.025 26 V × ln5.26 = 1.66× 25.26 mV = 41.9 mV

Chose the element pairings that are likely to react with each other<br> Na and K or Na and Br
kaheart [24]

Answer:

Na k

Explanation:

because na is a metal and potassium is also a metal and both are active metal so is less likely to react as no bond is formed between them
