Many biochemical reactions that occur in cells require relatively high concentrations of potassium ion (K+). The concentration of K + in muscle cells is about 0.l5 M. The concentration of K+ in blood plasma is about 0.0050 M. The high internal concentration in cells is maintained by pumping K+ from the plasma. How much work must be done to transport 1.0 mole of K+ from the blood to the inside of a muscle cell at 37C, normal body temperature? When 1.0 mole of K+ is transferred from blood to the cells, do any other ions have to be transported? Why or why not?
The free energy for a reaction decreases as temperature increases. Explain how this observation is used to determine the sign of either H or S.

Thermodynamics provides a way to interpret everyday occurrences. If you live in northern climates, one common experience is that during early winter, snow falls but then melts when it hits the ground. Both the formation and the melting happen spontaneously. How can thermodynamics explain both of these seemingly opposed events?
