Suppose that the resistance between the walls of a biological cell is 6.8 × 109 ω. (a) what is the current when the potential difference between the walls is 69 mv? (b) if the current is composed of na+ ions (q = +e), how many such ions flow in 0.86 s?

(a) We can find the current flowing between the walls by using Ohm's law:
$I= \frac{\Delta V}{R}$
where $\Delta V=69 mV=0.069 V$ is the potential difference and $R=6.8\cdot 10^9 \Omega$ is the resistance. Substituting these values, we get
$I=1.01 \cdot 10^{-11} A$

(b) The total charge flowing between the walls is the product between the current and the time interval:
$Q=I \Delta t$
The problem says $\Delta t=0.86 s$ , so the total charge is
$Q=(1.01\cdot 10^{-11} A)(0.86 s)=8.73 \cdot 10^{-12} C$

The current consists of Na+ ions, each of them having a charge of $e=1.6 \cdot 10^{-19} C$ . To find the number of ions flowing, we can simply divide the total charge by the charge of a single ion:
$N= \frac{Q}{e} = \frac{8.73 \cdot 10^{-12}C}{1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}C} = 5.45 \cdot 10^7 ions$

Acetic acid /əˈsiːtɪk/, systematically named ethanoic acid /ˌɛθəˈnoʊɪk/, is a colourless liquid organic compound with the chemical formula ch3cooh (also written as ch3co2h or c2h4o2). when undiluted, it is sometimes called glacial acetic acid. vinegar is no less than 4% acetic acid by volume, making acetic acid the main component of vinegar apart from water. acetic acid has a distinctive sour taste and pungent smell. in addition to household vinegar, it is mainly produced as a precursor to polyvinyl acetate and cellulose acetate. it is classified as a weak acid since it only partially dissociates in solution, but concentrated acetic acid is corrosive and can attack the skin.acetic acidnamespreferred iupac nameacetic acidsystematic iupac nameethanoic acidother namesvinegar (when dilute); hydrogen acetate; methanecarboxylic acid[1][2]identifierscas number64-19-7 3d model (jsmol)interactive image3dmetb00009 reference506007chebichebi: 15366 chemblchembl539 chemspider171 drugbankdb03166 echa infocard100.000.528ec number200-580-7e numbere260 (preservatives)gmelin reference1380iuphar/bps1058keggd00010 meshacetic+acidpubchem cid176rtecs numberaf1225000uniiq40q9n063p un number2789inchiinchi=1s/c2h4o2/c1-2(3)4/h1h3,(h,3,4) key: qtbsbxvteameqo-uhfffaoysa-n smilescc(o)=o
