When NH3 is dissolved in water, it dissociates  partially producing NH4+ ions and OH- ions. It has an equation:
NH3 + H2O → NH4+ + OH- 

<span>We use the Kb expression to determine the [OH-] concentration,
</span>
<span>Kb = [NH4+] [OH-] /* [NH3] </span>

We can write NH4+ as OH- since they are of equal ratio. 
<span>(1.76*10^-5) = [OH-]² / 0.188 
</span><span>[OH-]² = 3.3088*10^-6 </span>
<span>[OH-] = 1.819*10^-3 </span>

We calculate for H+ concentration as follows:

<span>[H+] [OH-] = 10^-14 </span>
<span>[H+] = 10^-14 / [OH-] </span>
<span>[H+] = 10^-14 / (1.819*10^-3) </span>
<span>[H+] = 5.50*10^-12 </span>

<span>pH = -log [H+] </span>
<span>pH = -log (5.5*10^-12) </span>
<span>pH = 11.26</span>

Calcium ions that act as second messengers are stored in _____.
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

Endoplasmic reticulum.

Explanation:

Second messengers are known as intracellular signaling molecules released from the cell in response to exposure to extracellular signaling molecules. Second messenger activate physiological changes at a cellular level, for example proliferation, migration, differentiation, survival, and apoptosis.

Calcium ions are hydrophilic, water-soluble molecules. They are present in intracellular component know as endoplasmic reticulum and quickly released when needed. They are necessary for many important functions including fertilization, muscle contractions, and neurotransmitter release.
