If the potassium ion concentration outside the axon of a neuron was 10 mM, and the membrane potential was −70 mV (inside of the axon negative relative to outside of the axon), what must be the concentration of potassium ions inside the axon? Assume no ion leakage (i.e., assume Donnan equilibrium conditions) and that other ions can be ignored. Assume also that the temperature is 37 °C.

Consider a cell at steady state. The intracellular Cl- concentration is 10 mM, while the extracellular Cl- concentration is 108 mM when the chloride channels are closed. The electrical potential inside the cell is -65 mV, and the external potential is 0 mV. Calculate the electrochemical potential difference across the membrane. Assume R = 8.3144 J/mol K and T = 37C. When the chloride channels open, in which direction will the Cl- ions move?

4) Recall that after the Na+ channels open the K+ channels open. Again to make the calculations relatively simple, solve the Goldman equation again with all resting conditions EXCEPT a 100 fold increase in potassium permeability. (2 points) [Hints, first, while I always stress the importance of units, in this case the simplified equation uses lumped constants (RT/F) and thus the units are factored in – so you can, this time, ignore the units. Second, remember that Cl- is a...

Consider the reaction: A (aq) ⇌ B (aq) at 253 K where the initial concentration of A = 1.00 M and the initial concentration of B = 0.000 M. At equilibrium it is found that the concentration of B = 0.441 M. What is the maximum amount of work that can be done by this system when the concentration of A = 0.833 M?
