Answer #1

equilibrium potential=RT/ZF ln ([K+]out/[K+]in)

R=8.314 J/mol

T= temperture in K

37 degree celcius=37+273=310 K

Z= charge of K+=+1

Z=Faradays constant=96485C/mol

[K+]out= 4.5 mM

[K+]in=120 mM

equilibrium potential= (8.314\times310/96465) ln(4.5/120)

=-0.0877V

1 V= 1000 mV

so -0.0877V = -87.7 mV

so the answer is b) -87.7 mV
