Doubly‑charged calcium ions, Ca 2 + , are released into your bloodstream and flow through your capillaries. The diameter of a capillary is about 8.90 μm, calcium ion concentrations are approximately 1.10 mol/m 3 , and typical electric current flow due to the Ca 2 + ions is around 1.2 nA. Calculate the drift speed v drift of the calcium ions. v drift = m/s

Expert Solution

Firstly , i calculate the no of free electrons per unit volume for that i need to first calculate how many atoms of calcium are present and which can be easily calculate from the mole information given in the question after that as we know that one calcium atoms consists of two negative charge , so i multiply the number of atoms with charge on the single atom , and then putting all the data in the equation and then finally i got the drift speed of calcium ions.

SHOW ALL STEP A solution of calcium carbonate is initially supersaturated with Ca++ and CO3= ions, such that the concentration of each is 1.35 x 10-4 mol/L. When equilibrium is finally reached, what is the concentration of calcium ion. Note that if you use the 4-step approach to equilibrium balance shown in class, electro-neutrality need only consider the calcium and carbonate ions, because they are initially in charge balance (i.e. { Ca++}0 = { CO3=}0 and this implies that [Ca++]0...

singly charged uranium-238 ions are accelerated through a potential difference of 2.00KV and wnter a uniform magnetic field of magnitude 1.20 T directed perpendicular to their velocities. Significance of this problem: 99% of all uranium that comes out of the ground (uranium mine) is U238. But it is U235 that is used for nuclear power plants (3~6% U235) and nuclear weapons (~90% U235). So the concentration of U235 must be increased (enriched). The concentration of U235 is what must be...

The figure shows electrons 1 and 2 on an x axis and charged ions 3 and 4 of identical charge -q and at identical angles θ. Electron 2 is free to move; the other three particles are fixed in place and are intended to hold electron 2 in place. For physically possible values of q ≤ 5e, what are the (a) smallest, (b) second smallest, and (c) third smallest values of θ for which electron 2 is held in place?

When chloride channels open, chloride ions will flow through the membrane down their electrochemical gradient. If you have channels in a cell membrane with a membrane potential of –30 mV inside, and you have chloride concentrations of 40 mM inside the cell and 120 mM outside. What would the spontaneous direction of the chloride flow be, and what would the free energy change of transport be in the spontaneous direction?
