Help with these questions please regarding transmembrane voltages

10. Consider the following situation (Figure 1) in which the concentrations of Na, K and CI ions are known in the cytosol of the cell and in the solution outside of the cell. Also, a voltmeter is used to measure the voltage (in millivolts, mV) of the cytosol with respect to the outside (also referred to as the transmembrane voltage). The temperature is 20 °C Figure 1 voltmete 20 mM Na Ch 180 mM K' CI 100 mM Na Ch 15 mM K C cytosol outside R. T [ion]c Equation 1: The Nernst equation where Eion is the transmembrane voltage (in Volts) R is the gas constant (8.314 J mol K) T is the absolute temperature in Kelvin ionlo is the concentration of the ion on the extracellular side of the membrane ion], is the concentration of the ion on the cytosolic side of the membrane F is the Faraday constant (96500 J V mol) z is the charge associated with the ion
