Given that the electric potential is 7.0×10^−2 V higher outside the cell than inside the cell, and that the cell membrane is 0.10 thick, calculate the work that must be done (in joules) to move one sodium ion from inside the cell to outside.

Question

Given that the electric potential is 7.0×10^−2 V higher outside the cell than inside the cell, and that the cell membrane is 0.10  thick, calculate the work that must be done (in joules) to move one sodium ion from inside the cell to outside.

bobpursley · Answer

work= difference in potential * charge There are more complicated ways to do this .
