The contractions of the heart are controlled by electrical phenomena, as are nerve impulses throughout thebody. The pulses of electricity that cause the heart to beat result from a remarkable combination ofelectrochemistry and the properties of semipermeable membranes.Cell walls are membranes with variable permeability with respect to number of physiologically important ions.Especially Na+, K+ and Ca²+. The concentrations of these ions are different for the fluids inside the cells(intracellular fluid, ICF) and outside the cells (extracellular fluid, ECF). Changes in the relative concentration ofthe ions in the ECF and ICF lead to changes in the emf of the voltaic cell.For example, in cardiac muscle cells, the concentration of K* in the ICF and ECF are typically about 135mM, and4mM, respectively. [K*]₁cf = 135mM, [K*]µ£cf = 4mM.Can you calculate a potential difference which results in the concentration of K+ ions between ICF and ECFusing the Nernst equation at the physiological temperature of 37°C in mV for moving K* from ECF to ICF?

The contractions of the heart are controlled by electrical phenomena, as are nerve impulses throughout the

electrochemistry and the properties of semipermeable membranes.
Cell walls are membranes with variable permeability with respect to number of physiologically important ions.
Especially Na+, K+ and Ca²+. The concentrations of these ions are different for the fluids inside the cells
(intracellular fluid, ICF) and outside the cells (extracellular fluid, ECF). Changes in the relative concentration of
the ions in the ECF and ICF lead to changes in the emf of the voltaic cell.
For example, in cardiac muscle cells, the concentration of K* in the ICF and ECF are typically about 135mM, and
4mM, respectively. [K*]₁cf = 135mM, [K*]µ£cf = 4mM.
Can you calculate a potential difference which results in the concentration of K+ ions between ICF and ECF
using the Nernst equation at the physiological temperature of 37°C in mV for moving K* from ECF to ICF?

Aluminumcan form two complex ions with fluoride, AlF63–(Kf= 2.4x10^4), which forms in solutions with [F–] > 1.5M and AlF4–(Kf= 2.0x10^8), which forms when [F–] is between 0.5 M and 1.5M. 100 mL of 0.20 M Al(NO3)3is combined with 500 mL of a pH 4.25 HF/NaF buffer (total concentration of 2.0M). Given that the sodium salt of the complex ion has a solubility of 0.042 g/100 mL, will the sodium salt precipitate from the equilibrium mixture? Why or why not? If AlF63–forms, the sodium salt would be Na3AlF6; if AlF4–forms, the sodium salt would be NaAlF4.
