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
On June 21, as seen from the North pole ...
-- the sun has been up, and it's been light outside,
for the past three months ... ever since March 21 .
-- The sun won't set, and it won't be dark outside,
for another three months ... until September 21.
-- Here at the North pole, it stays daylight for six months straight.
Today, on June 21, we're exactly halfway through the period of
continuous daylight.
The conclusion includes a summary of the results, whether or not the hypothesis was supported, the significance of the study, and future research.
Answer:
Protons: 79
Electrons: 78
Explanation:
1. The number of protons is the atomic number (The atomic number for Au on the periodic table is 79)
2. Since the charge is +1 (positive) it means that there's one more proton than electrons. So, 79-1 = 78 electrons
Answer: The correct option is C ( is very hard and burns cleanly).
Explanation:
COAL is a form of rock that is made up of mostly carbon amongst other elements which includes sulphur, nitrogen, hydrogen and oxygen. There are different types of coal which include:
--> anthracite ( 90% carbon)
--> bituminous coal ( 70-90% carbon)
--> lignite ( 60- 70% carbon) and
--> peat (60 % carbon).
Anthracite is the type of coal that contains the highest carbon content ( 90% carbon). This makes it very hard and is often a times referred to as HARD COAL. Anthracite is a higher quality coal for domestic and open fire heating. This is because it contains less impurities than other type of coal and thereby making it to BURN CLEANLY avoiding atmospheric pollution.
