Answer:

Contributes to the membrane potential.

Explanation:

Sodium-potassium pump: In cellular physiology, a protein which is identified in many cells that helping in to maintain the higher concentration of potassium ions inside than that is in the surrounding medium and maintain the lower concentration of sodium ions inside than that of the surrounding medium.

This unbalanced charge transfer contributes in the separation of charge across the cell membrane. Sodium-potassium pump is known for important contributor to action potential which is produce by nerve cells.

A 45-g aluminium spoon(specific heat 0.80 / J/gdegree Celsius) at 24 degree celsius is placed in 180 ml(180 grams) of coffee at

Vlad [161]

Explanation:

a) The amount of heat released by coffee will be absorbed by aluminium spoon.

Thus, $heat_{absorbed}=heat_{released}$

To calculate the amount of heat released or absorbed, we use the equation:

$Q=m\times c\times \Delta T=m\times c\times (T_{final}-T_{initial})$

Also,

$m_1\times c_1\times (T_{final}-T_1)=-[m_2\times c_2\times (T_{final}-T_2)]$ ..........(1)

where,

q = heat absorbed or released

$m_1$ = mass of aluminium = 45 g

$m_2$ = mass of coffee = 180 g

$T_{final}$ = final temperature = ?

$T_1$ = temperature of aluminium = $24^oC$

$T_2$ = temperature of coffee = $85^oC$

$c_1$ = specific heat of aluminium = $0.80J/g^oC$

$c_2$ = specific heat of coffee= $4.186 J/g^oC$

Putting all the values in equation 1, we get:

$45 g\times 0.80J/g^oC\times (T_{final}-24^oC)=-[180 g\times 4.186J/g^oC\times (T_{final}-83^oC)]$

$T_{final}=80.30^oC$

80.30 °C is the final temperature.

b) Energy flows from higher temperature to lower temperature.Whenever two bodies with different energies and temperature come in contact. And the resulting temperature of both bodies will less then the body with high temperature and will be more then the body with lower temperature.

So, is our final temperature of both aluminium and coffee that is 80°C less than initial temperature of coffee and more than the initial temperature of the aluminum.
