Chemistry

(a) A vessel is separated into two parts, A and B, by a bilayerlipid membrane containing Na+ channels. Part A holds an aqueoussolution of NaCl with concentration 0.15 mol L-1 and ofdisaccharide sucrose with concentration 0.01 mol L-1 . Part B holdsan aqueous solution of NaCl with concentration 0.015 mol L-1 .Calculate the electrical potential between the two sides of themembrane at 30 oC and at 50 oC. Neglect the effect of temperatureon the molarity of the solutions. Assume that the membrane is notpermeable for glucose and for Cl ions.
