Suppose that the extracellular concentration of Cl– is 123 mM and the intracellular concentrationis 4 mM. The membrane electrical potential (?V) is 0.06 V, inside negative relative to outside.
At 298 K, for transport of Cl– ions from the outside into the cell:

1) Calculate the chemical potential term of ? Gtransport for transport of Cl– ions into the cell (the term reflecting the concentration gradient for Cl– ions). Does this term favor the flow of Cl– ions into the cell, or out of the cell?
