Chapter 6, Problem 37RA

Use the Nernst equation and the ion concentration provided in figure 6.26 to perform the following calculations.

Using the chloride $\left({\text{Cl}}^{-}\right)$ concentrations provided, calculate the equilibrium potential for ${\text{Cl}}^{-}$ Given your answer, should ${\text{Cl}}^{-}$ enter or leave the cell if the plasma membrane suddenly becomes permeable to it (given a membrane potential of $-70\text{ mV}$ )?
