For the following diagram, assume that the ion concentration listed are the initial values, and assume that at the start there is no voltage across the membrane.

If the membrane is only permeable to sodium, then at equilibrium the concentration of sodium ions will be equal on both sides of the membrane.

a) this is true

b) this is false
