Concentration of

\mathrm{K}^{+}

ions inside a biological cell was found to be 25 times higher than that outside. The magnitude of the potential difference between the two sides of the cell is close to (

2.303 \mathrm{RT} / \mathrm{F}

can be taken as 59 mV ; difference in concentrations of other ions can be taken as negligible.)

Options

A4.2 mV
B195 mV
C82 mV
D $-82 \mathrm{mV}$

Correct answer

C. 82 mV
