The Nernst equation is E = ((-2.3RT)/zF)*(log10 [Ci/Co])
E = equilibrium potential (mV)
z = charge on the ion
(2.3RT)/F = constant (60mV at 37C)
Ci = intracellular concentration
Co = extracellular concentration
The Nernst equation is important because it shows what the equilibrium potential would be for one ion.
E.g. The resting membrane potential is normally ~70mV. So during an action potential Na channels open their gates briefly and Na rush inside the cell. Na is ionized and carries a positive charge. So when Na rushes into the cell it makes the inside of the cell more positive. If you were to break off the gate and allow Na to move freely back and forth, the Nernst equation shows us that the equilibrium point for Na is ~+65mV.

How do you calculate displacement of an object using the work-energy equation?
To calculate displacement using the work-energy equation, first calculate the work done on the object using the force applied and the distance moved. Then, equate the work done to the change in kinetic energy of the object using the work-energy equation: Work = Change in kinetic energy = 0.5 * mass * (final velocity^2 - initial velocity^2). Finally, rearrange the equation to solve for displacement.

How do you find equilibrium constant using standard reduction potentials?
To find the equilibrium constant using standard reduction potentials, you can use the Nernst equation: Ecell = E°cell - (RT/nF)ln(Q), where Ecell is the cell potential at equilibrium, E°cell is the standard cell potential, R is the gas constant, T is the temperature in Kelvin, n is the number of electrons transferred, F is Faraday's constant, and Q is the reaction quotient. By rearranging this equation and using the standard reduction potentials for the half-reactions involved, you can calculate the equilibrium constant.

How do you calculate membrane potential in biological systems?
Membrane potential in biological systems is calculated using the Nernst equation, which takes into account the concentration gradients of ions across the cell membrane. The equation is Vm (RT/zF) ln(ionout/ionin), where Vm is the membrane potential, R is the gas constant, T is the temperature in Kelvin, z is the charge of the ion, F is Faraday's constant, ionout is the concentration of the ion outside the cell, and ionin is the concentration of the ion inside the cell.
How do you convert output voltage of thermocouple into temperature?
You need to know the temperature of the reference junction and the voltage difference between the reference and sensing junctions. First, you convert the reference temperature to a voltage using the reverse equation or table for your thermocouple type. Then you sum that voltage with the measured voltage. Finally, you convert the summed voltage back to a temperature using the equation or table for the thermocouple type you are using. If the reference junction is at zero degrees C, you can skip the reference summing part. Before computer processing was easy and cheap, the reference junction was often kept in an ice water bath for that reason.
