The cell membrane is semi-permeable which means that some thing go in and out of the cell freely and exist in to the same extent both within the cell and outside the cell. However, many things are actively transported into or out of the cell so that they exist in a higher or lower concentration within the cell in respect to the extracellular concentrations.

What is the concentration of sodium ions inside the cell is usually than the concentration of sodium ions outside the cell?

Extracellulary, Sodium is major ion. Intracellular concentration of sodium is: 12 mEq/L Extracellular concentration of sodium is: 140 mEq/L Intracellularly, Potassium is major ion. Intracellular concentration of Potassiumis: 140 mEq/L Extracellular concentration of Potassiumis: 3.5-5 mEq/L These concetrations are maintained by Na+/K+ ATPase.

What would happen to a resting membrane potential if the concentration of a large intracellular anions that are unable to cross the membrane experimentally is increased?

If the concentration of large intracellular anions..i.e. proteins, which are unable to cross the membrane due to their large size.. were to increase, the resting potential would reach a more negative state, a deviation from -70mV to a more negative value do to these anions.
