Concentration of Charges

Equation

>Top, >Model


If there is more than one type of ion, the actual concentration of the ions must be estimated, that is, add the concentrations weighted by the number of charges they have

$c_m=\sum_i\mid z_i\mid c_i$

where R is the gas constant, T the temperature, z the number of charges, F the constant Farday and the concentrations between both sides of the membrane c_1 and c_2.

Conductivity

Equation

>Top, >Model


In the case of ion conduction, conductivity must include the sign of the charge, which is entered with the number of charges z divided by the absolute value of said number \mid z \mid. Therefore the conductivity is

$ \kappa =\displaystyle\frac{ z }{ \mid z \mid } \mu_e c $

where \mu_e is mobility and c the concentration of ions.

Equilibrium Condition

Equation

>Top, >Model


The equilibrium condition occurs when the flow due to the potential difference is equal to the flow due to the diffusion. That is why you have to

-\displaystyle\frac{z\mu_ec}{\mid z\mid}\displaystyle\frac{dV}{dx}=-\displaystyle\frac{\mu_eRT}{\mid z\mid F}\displaystyle\frac{dc}{dx}

for what you have

$ dV =\displaystyle\frac{ R T }{ z F }\displaystyle\frac{ dc }{ c }$

Nernst Current

Equation

>Top, >Model


The electron current is the dQ charge that passes through a S section in a dt time. If it is assumed that electrons or ions travel at a speed v the volume of these that will pass in time dt through the section S is the same to Svdt. If, on the other hand, the ion concentration is c and its charge is q the current will be

I=\displaystyle\frac{dQ}{dt}=\displaystyle\frac{Svdtc}{dt}=Svc
