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

Chemistry

astraxan [27]2 years ago

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.

Given the model from the question,

  • The products are: N₂, H₂O and H₂
  • The reactants are: H₂ and NO
  • The limiting reactant is H₂
  • The balanced equation is: 3H₂ + 2NO —> N₂ + 2H₂O + H₂

<h3>Balanced equation </h3>

From the model given, we obtained the ffolowing

  • Red => Oxygen
  • Blue => Nitrogen
  • White => Hydrogen

Thus, we can write the balanced equation as follow:

3H₂ + 2NO —> N₂ + 2H₂O + H₂

From the balanced equation above,

  • Reactants: H₂ and NO
  • Product: N₂, H₂O and H₂

<h3>How to determine the limiting reactant</h3>

3H₂ + 2NO —> N₂ + 2H₂O + H₂

From the balanced equation above,

3 moles of H₂ reacted with 2 moles of NO.

Therefore,

5 moles of H₂ will react with = (5 × 2) / 3 = 3.33 moles of NO

From the calculation made above, we can see that only 3.33 moles of NO out of 4 moles given are required to react completely with 5 moles of H₂.

Thus, H₂ is the limiting reactant

What changes occur in O + O = O2
ozzi

Answer:

They went from atoms to oxygen molecule.

Explanation:

I'm not sure if this is the answer your teacher is looking for, but in simple terms you had 2 oxygen atoms. Together they make an oxygen molecule, which is the stuff we breathe.

Which pair has identical electron configurations?
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Identical electron configurations : K⁺ and Cl⁻

<h3>Further explanation  </h3>

In an atom, there are levels of energy in the shell and sub-shell  

This energy level is expressed in the form of electron configurations.  

Charging electrons in the sub-shell uses the following sequence:  

<em>1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶, 4s², 3d¹⁰, 4p⁶, 5s², 4d¹⁰, 5p⁶, 6s², etc.  </em>

  • S²⁻ and CI

S²⁻ : [Ne] 3s²3p⁶

Cl : [Ne] 3s²3p⁵

  • K⁺ and CI⁻

K⁺ : 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶

Cl⁻ : 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s²3p⁶

  • S and Ar

S :[Ne] 3s²3p⁴

Ar : [Ne] 3s²3p⁶

  • Cl⁻ and K

Cl⁻ : 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s²3p⁶

K : 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶4s¹
