At K, mV. Always retain the valence sign. For the two monovalent positive ions,
For calcium, and the specified voltage is positive:
For chloride, reverses the sign in the Nernst equation:
These values use thermodynamic activities approximated by the given concentrations. Calcium is the free concentration relevant to its electrochemical potential, rather than total bound plus free intracellular calcium. Ratios use matching concentration units, so a ratio of millimolar values is already dimensionless. Failure to include the factor of two for calcium or the negative charge of chloride would change the answer substantially.
