Use the GHK equation (at a temperature of $29.2\;{}^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$ ) to calculate the membrane potential in mV for a cell model in which

only the ions $\mathrm{Na}^{+}$ and $\mathrm{Cl}^{-}$ play a role;
the concentration of $\mathrm{Na}^{+}$ inside the cell is $14\;\mathrm{mM}$ and outside the cell is $145.4\;\mathrm{mM}$ ;
the concentration of $\mathrm{Cl}^{-}$ inside the cell is $22.0\;\mathrm{mM}$ and outside the cell is $119.0\;\mathrm{mM}$ ;
the following ratio of permeabilities may be used $P_\mathrm{Na}\;:\;P_\mathrm{Cl} = 0.05\;:\;0.45$ .

Round your answer to one decimal place.
