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

Find the number of cations present in 7g of sodium prosphate Na=23 g/mol O=16g/mol P=31g/mol​
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:    This contains magnesium, Mg2+, and hydroxide, OH–

, ions. Each magnesium ion is +2 and

each hydroxide ion is -1: two -1 ions are needed for one +2 ion, and the formula for magnesium

hydroxide is Mg(OH)2. The (OH)2 indicates there are two OH–

ions. In a formula unit of

Mg(OH)2, there are one magnesium ion and two hydroxide ions; or one magnesium, two

oxygen, and two hydrogen atoms. The subscript multiplies everything in ( )

hope that helped!!

If i have 8 L of 0.25 M solution, how many miles of MgCl2 are present
qaws [65]

Answer:

2 moles

Explanation:

The following were obtained from the question:

Molarity = 0.25 M

Volume = 8L

Mole =?

Molarity is simply defined as the mole of solute per unit litre of solution. It is represented mathematically as:

Molarity = mole of solute/Volume of solution.

With the above equation, we can easily find the number of mole of MgCl2 present in 8 L of 0.25 M MgCl2 solution as follow:

Molarity = mole of solute/Volume of solution.

0.25 = mole of MgCl2 /8

Cross multiply to express in linear form

Mole of MgCl2 = 0.25 x 8

Mole of MgCl2 = 2 moles

Therefore, 2 moles of MgCl2 are present in 8 L of 0.25 M MgCl2 solution

A tank is filled with gasoline to a depth of exactly 2 feet. The tank is a cylinder resting horizontally on its side, with its c
inna [77]

Answer:

The volume of the gasoline in the tank is 18.85 cubic feet

Explanation:

The tank is a cylinder. The equation for calculating the cylinder volumen is πr²*h, r is radius and h is height. π is approximately 3.1416. So,  The tank is  resting horizontally on its side, its radius is 2 feet/2= 1 feet. h=a tank long= 6 feet.

With equation:

Vol gasoline=3.1416*1²*6=18.85 feet ³
