Chapter 3, Problem 1SQE

Using the Nernst equation, calculate the equilibrium potential for Ca2 and for C1 from the following sets of data:

a. Given ${\left[{\text{Ca}}^{\text{2+}}\right]}_{\text{0}}\text{=1}\text{mM,}{\left[{\text{Ca}}^{\text{2+}}\right]}_{\text{i}}\text{=100}\text{nM}$, find ${\text{E}}_{{\text{ca}}^{2+}}$

b. Given ${\left[{\text{Cl}}^{\text{-}}\right]}_{\text{0}}\text{=110}\text{mM,}{\left[{\text{Cl}}^{\text{-}}\right]}_{\text{i}}\text{=100}\text{mM}$, find ${\text{E}}_{{\text{cl}}^{-}}$
