Calculate the membrane potential caused by the different concentrations of an ionic element on either side of the membrane. Assume all ions are singly charged (z = 1). The concentration outside is 61 and that inside is 149 Give your answer in milliVolts (mV). Make sure you include the sign. The temperature T is 300k. You will need to look up the values of Boltmann's constant kB and the charge on the electron.
