Answer: W = J
Explanation: Since the potassium ion is at the outside membrane of a cell and the potential here is lower than the potential inside the cell, the transport will need work to happen.
The work to transport an ion from a lower potential side to a higher potential side is calculated by
q is charge;
ΔV is the potential difference;
Potassium ion has +1 charge, which means:
p = C
To determine work in joules, potential has to be in Volts, so:
Then, work is
To move a potassium ion from the exterior to the interior of the cell, it is required J of energy.
Answer:
B. QC > 0; QH < 0
Explanation:
Given that there are two reservoir of energy.
Sign convention for heat and work :
1.If the heat is adding to the system then it is taken as positive and if heat is going out from the system then it is taken as negative.
2. If the work is done on the system then it is taken as negative and if the work is done by the system then it is taken as positive.
From hot reservoir heat is going out that is why it is taken as negative
From cold reservoir heat is coming inside the reservoir that is why it is taken as positive
That is why the answer will be
