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

How is carbon- 14 different from carbon-12
Agata [3.3K]

Carbon 12 and carbon 14 are two isotopes of the elements carbon.the difference between carbon 12 and carbon 14 is the number r of neutrons in each atom.the number given after the atom name (carbon) indicates the numbers of protons plus neutron is an atom or iron. Atom of both isotopes of carbon contain 6 protons

When strongly electronegative atoms, like fluorine, bond to atoms with a lower electronegativity, like hydrogen, what's the resu
olganol [36]
When highly electronegative element like oxygen is directly attached to less electronegative element like hydrogen the electrons from less electronegative elements are attracted toward the highly electronegative element, making the less electronegative element deficient in electron density (partial positive) and a partial negative charge on more electronegative element is created. In such situation the intermolecular forces formed are dipole-dipole interactions or hydrogen bond interaction like in HF.

atch the following aqueous solutions with the appropriate letter from the column on the right. fill in the blank 1 A 1. 0.20 m N
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

Highest boiling point - 0.43 m Urea

Second highest boiling point - 0.20 m NiSO4

Third highest boiling point - 0.19 m NH4I

Lowest boiling point - 0.17 m NH4NO3

Explanation:

We know that;

ΔT = kb m i

Where;

ΔT = boiling point elevation

kb = boiling point constant

m = molality of the solution

i = Van't Hoff factor

For NiSO4 , NH4I  and NH4NO3 , the Van't Hoff factor, i = 2

But for Urea, the Van't Hoff factor, i = 1

We also have to consider both the values of the molality and Van't Hoff factor , knowing that a higher molality and a higher Van't Hoff factor leads to a higher ΔT and consequently a higher boiling point.

This facts above account for the arrangement of substances shown in the answer.

2. Newton's 1st Law- says that objects in rest will stay in rest and objects in motion will stay in motion. The most important lesson here is that an object in rest may not be in rest position.
3. Ohms law- says the current passing through an area is directly proportional to the voltage
