Consider the transport of K+ from the blood (where its concentration is about 4 mM) into an erythrocyte that contains 150 mM K+.  The transmembrane potential is about 60 mV, inside negative relative to outside.  The free-energy change for this transport process is:  (These values may be of use to you:  R = 8.315 J/mol.K; T = 298 K; 9 (Faraday constant) = 96,480 J/V; N = 6.022×10²³ /mol.)
