How does mg2+ block the effect of extracellular calcium on neurotransmitter release?

Chemistry
1 answer:
svetlana [45]3 years ago

<span>Magnesium is a strong anode than calcium. So, Mg will be oxidized into Mg2+. So instead of having Ca being the reducing agent, Mg will takes its place. That's how the "Blocking" occur.
</span><span>Without Ca2+, no neurotransmitter was released because the exocytosis of the synaptic vesicles is dependent upon Ca2+.
</span>So, when magnesium is added to the extracellular fluid it blocks the calcium channels and inhibits the release of <span>neurotransmitter.</span>

What do the coefficients located before certain molecules in each chemical equation represent?
olga55 [171]
It represents the number of moles required of that molecule to balance the chemical equation, which means to have the reaction chemically happen and goes to completion.

For example:
CH4 + O2 --> H2O + CO2     that is not balanced

with the coefficients located
CH4 + 2O2 --> 2H2O + CO2    now with the coefficients the number of oxygen and hydrogen on each side are equal

Position (m)
Alex777 [14]

Option C. The object is returning to the start at a constant speed.

<h3>Data points of the Position vs Time graph</h3>

The following data points will be used to determine the motion of the object.

<u>Position               Time</u>

12                          4

10                          6

2                            8

0                           10

From the data above, the position of the object is decreasing towards zero or start point.

Thus, the object is returning to the start at a constant speed.

Given the equation: HCl + Na2SO4 → NaCl + H2SO4, if you start with 8 moles of hydrochloric acid, how many grams of sulfuric acid
Simora [160]

Answer:

392g sulfuric acid are produced

Explanation:

Based on the balanced equation:

2HCl + Na2SO4 → 2NaCl + H2SO4

<em>2 moles of HCl produce 1 mole of sulfuric acid</em>

<em />

To solve the problem we need to find the moles of sulfuric acid produced based on the chemical equation. Then, using its molar mass -<em>Molar mass H2SO4 = 98g/mol- </em>we can find the mass of sulfuric acid produced:

<em>Moles sulfuric acid:</em>

8mol HCl * (1mol H2SO4 / 2mol HCl) = 4 mol H2SO4

<em>Mass sulfuric acid:</em>

4mol H2SO4 * (98g / mol) =

392g sulfuric acid are produced

A chemical engineer is developing a process for producing a new chemical. One step in the process involves allowing a solution o
g100num [7]

Answer:

using a more concentrated potassium hydroxide

Explanation:

<em>The option that would likely increase the rate of reaction would be to use a more concentrated potassium hydroxide.</em>

<u>The concentration of reactants is one of the factors that affect the rate of reaction. The more the concentration of the reactants, the faster the rate of reaction. </u>

Granted that there are enough of the other reactants, increasing the concentration of one of the reactants will lead to an increased rate of reaction.

Hence, using a more concentrated potassium hydroxide which happens to be one of the reactants would likely increase the rate of reaction.
