Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are drugs that are antidepressants. These blocks the reuptake of a neurotransmitter leading to increases in their activity in the synaptic cells.

<h3>What are neurotransmitters?</h3>

Neurotransmitters are defined as the signaling molecules that are secreted by the nerve cells and act as signal transporter between the neurons and the other cells of the body.

The SSRIs class of drugs affects this neurotransmitter and blocks the pathway to the presynaptic cell. This, in turn, affects synaptic communication by increasing the amount of those SSRIs in the body and acting as a stimulant to treat various diseases.

Therefore, the SSRIs block the neurotransmitter and result in their effects.

makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

In liquids, particles are quite close together and move with random motion throughout the container. Particles move rapidly in all directions but collide with each other more frequently than in gases due to shorter distances between particles.

Part 1. determine the molar mass of a 0.458-gram sample of gas having a volume of 1.20 l at 287 k and 0.980 atm. show your work.
d1i1m1o1n [39]
  • The molar mass of 0.458-gram sample of gas having a volume of 1.20 l at 287 k and 0.980 atm is 9.15g/mol.
  • If this sample was placed under extreme pressure, the volume of the sample will decrease.

<h3>How to calculate molar mass?</h3>

The molar mass of a substance can be calculated by first calculating the number of moles using ideal gas law equation:

PV = nRT

Where;

  • P = pressure
  • V = volume
  • T = temperature
  • R = gas law constant
  • n = no of moles

0.98 × 1.2 = n × 0.0821 × 287

1.18 = 23.56n

n = 1.18/23.56

n = 0.05moles

mole = mass/molar mass

0.05 = 0.458/mm

molar mass = 0.458/0.05

molar mass = 9.15g/mol

  • Therefore, the molar mass of 0.458-gram sample of gas having a volume of 1.20 l at 287 k and 0.980 atm is 9.15g/mol
  • If this sample was placed under extreme pressure, the volume of the sample will decrease.

Strigol is an important plant hormone that is released by crops such as rice and sugarcane. Unfortunately for these plants, stri
Len [333]

The hydrogen deficiency index( HDI) of strigol is = 10

<h3>How to calculate HDI:</h3>

The hydrogen deficiency index is used to measure the number of degree of unsaturation of an organic compound.

Strigol is an example of an organic compound because it contains carbons and hydrogen.

To calculate the HDI using the molecular formula given (C19H20O6) the formula for HDI is used which is:

hdi =  \frac{1}{2} (2c + 2 + n - h - x)

where C = number of carbon atoms = 19

n= number of nitrogen atoms = 0

h= number of hydrogen atoms = 20

X = number of halogen atoms = 0

Note that oxygen was not considered because it forms two bonds and has no impact.

There for HDI =

\frac{1}{2} (2 \times 19 + 2 + 0 - 20 - 0)

HDI=

\frac{1}{2} (40 - 20)

HDI =

\frac{1}{2}  \times 20

HDI = 10

Therefore, the hydrogen deficiency index of strigol is = 10

Zinc has a specific heat capacity of 0.390 J/goC. What is its molar heat capacity? Enter your answer numerically to three signif
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

The answer to your questions is  Cm = 25.5 J/mol°C  

Explanation:

Data

Heat capacity = 0.390 J/g°C

Molar heat capacity = ?

Process

1.- Look for the atomic number of Zinc

     Z = 65.4 g/mol

2.- Convert heat capacity to molar heat capacity

       (0.390 J/g°C)(65.4 g/mol)

- Simplify and result

   Cm = 25.5 J/mol°C
