A compound that binds to a receptor but does not activate the neuron is known as an Antagonist.

A receptor is a large protein molecule on a neuron that gets activated when a ligand binds to it such as a drug or hormone, or when electrical impulses pass through it.

An antagonist is a drug or hormone that binds to receptor, but instead of activating the receptor, it blocks or dampens the activation of the neuron. Antagonist drugs are used to interfere with the normal function or operation of a protein receptor.

Depending on the nature of the antagonist or the receptor it's bound to, the effects of antagonists may be permanent or temporary.

Consider the reaction between a solution of molecule A and a solid block of molecule B. In general, for a reaction to occur, the
Blababa [14]

Answer:

Decreasing the volume of solvent in the solution of molecule A

Explanation:

We know that one of the factors that affect the rate of reaction is the concentration of the reactants. The greater the concentration of reactants, the faster the rate of reaction (the greater the frequency of collision between reactants).

Hence, when we decrease the volume of solvent in the solution of molecule A, the concentration of the solution increases and consequently more particles of molecule A are available to collide with particles of molecule B resulting in a higher rate of reaction.

What would be the greatest difference in using an open ceramic coffee mug rather than an insulated mug with a lid as a calorimet
adoni [48]
The answer is number 4 or the exchange of energy with the surroundings. Calorimetry is a measurement of energy that is formed or absorbed in a certain process. The calorimeter is the instrument used in order to measure the energy. It is recommended that a calorimeter should be a closed system so as to measure precisely the energy and avoid or lessen the exchange of energy with the surroundings. Thus, comparing an open ceramic mug and an insulated mug with a lid, the greatest difference is the energy lost to the surroundings.

Write Balance chemical reaction for preparation of chlorine with or without application heat<br>​
suter [353]

Answer:

2KMnO4(aq) + 16HCl(aq) ------> 2MnCl2(aq) + 2KCl(aq) + 8H2O(l) + 5Cl2(g)

Explanation:

Chlorine is a diatomic halogen gas known for its greenish-yellow colour. It has a pungent smell and is only moderately soluble in water.

It is a very reactive gas and is never found in free state in nature.

Chlorine can be prepared in the laboratory by oxidation of hydrochloric acid using KMnO4 as follows;

2KMnO4(aq) + 16HCl(aq) ------> 2MnCl2(aq) + 2KCl(aq) + 8H2O(l) + 5Cl2(g)

The set up does not need to be heated.

Which compound contains a triple bond?
Masteriza [31]

Answer: C2H2

Explanation: Because each of the lines represent one bond, and because there are three lines (bonds) between the carbons, it means that they are bonded by three bonds, also known as a triple bond.
