Zinc is to be used as an internal standard for the polarographic analysis of thallium. A standard solution containing twice the concentration of zinc as Thallium has a diffusion current of 1.89 µA for Ti and 3.50 µA for Zn. A 10.0g alloy was dissolved in 500 mL, 25 mL of this solution was mixed with 25 mL of 1.0 x 10-3 M Zn 2+ solution. The diffusion currents of this final solution are 18.2µA for Tl+ and 14.5µA for Zn+. Calculate % Ti in the sample analysed

The biochemistry that takes place inside cells depends on various elements, such as sodium, potassium, and calcium, that are dissolved in water as ions. These ions enter cells through narrow pores in the cell membrane known as ion channels. Each ion channel, which is formed from a specialized protein molecule, is selective for one type of ion. Measurements with microelectrodes have shown that a 0.30-nm-diameter potassium ion (K+) channel carries a current of 1.8 pA. How many potassium ions pass through if the ion channel opens for 1.0 ms?
An unknown cadmium(II) solution was analyzed polarographically by the method of standard additions. A 25.00-mL sample of the unknown solution produced a diffusion current of 1.86 mA. Following addition of a 5.00-mL aliquot of 2.12x10^23 M Cd2+ standard solution to the unknown solution, a diffusion current of 5.27 mA was produced. Calculate the concentration of Cd2+ in the unknown solution.
