1. Calculate the Nernst potential (nearest mV) for each of the above four ions (Na*, K*, CI¯, Ca²+)
assuming a temperature of 27 °C. Please show all work.
(Possibly useful constants: R = 8.314 J K¹ mol‍¹; F = 9.65 x 104 C mol¹; J=Joule; K=Kelvin;
C=Coulomb)
2. What is the resting potential (nearest mV) across the membrane using the Nernst potentials
calculated in part 1 and the given conductance? (Note, please use the Nernst potentials
rounded to nearest mV calculated in part 1 and show all work). Which ion's conductance
dominates resting membrane potential and state the reasoning you used. (one or sentences)?
