If a body does not have enough potassium, how might that affect neuronal firing?

1 answer:

8 0

Potassium is fundamental for neuron activity. If a body does not have enough potassium, then the neuron will struggle to fire because there will not be enough positively charged ions to trigger the firing of the neuron.

The potassium (K+) is maintained at a high level within the neuron at rest, whereas sodium (Na+) is maintained at a high level outside of the cell.

Neurons contain K+ and Na+ leakage channels that allow the two ions to diffuse in favor of a concentration gradient.

Depolarization opens both K+ and Na+ channels in the membrane, thereby these ions can flow out and into the axon, respectively.

A gas has a pressure of 8.5atm and occupies 24L at 25∘C. What volume (in liters) will the gas occupy if the pressure is increase

Vesna [10]

The volume (in liters) that the gas will occupy if the pressure is increased to 13.5 atm and the temperature is decreased to 15 °C is 15 L

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Initial pressure (P₁) = 8.5 atm

Initial volume (V₁) = 24 L

Initial temperature (T₁) = 25 °C = 25 + 273 = 298 K

Final pressure (P₂) = 13.5 atm

Final temperature (T₂) = 15 °C = 15 + 273 = 288 K

<h3>Final volume (V₂) =? </h3>

The final volume of the gas can be obtained by using the combined gas equation as illustrated below:

$\frac{P_{1}V_{1}}{T_{1}} = \frac{P_{2}V_{2}}{T_{2}}\\\\\frac{8.5 * 24}{298} = \frac{13.5 * V_{2}}{288}\\\\ \frac{204}{298} = \frac{13.5 * V_{2}}{288}\\\\$

Cross multiply

298 × 13.5 × V₂ = 204 × 288

4023 × V₂ = 58752

Divide both side by 4023

$V_{2} = \frac{58752}{4023}\\\\$

Therefore, the final volume of the gas is 15 L

Iron(II) sulfate, an iron supplement , FeSO4 Express your answer to four significant figures and include the appropriate units.

strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

Molar mass = 151.9 g/mol

Explanation:

The molar mass of a compound is obtained by adding u the individual atomic masses in the compound. The unit is g/mol.

In FeSO4, we have one Fe, one S and 4 O.

The atomic masses are given as follows;

Fe = 55.845 u

S = 32.065 u

O = 15.999 u

Molar mass = ( 1 * Fe) + (1 * S) + (4 * O)

Molar mass = (1 * 55.854 ) + ( 1 * 32.065) + (4 * 15.999)

Molar mass = 151.915 g/mol

In four significant figures;

Molar mass = 151.9 g/mol
