Chemistry

<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>

Phoenix [80]

Answer:

Here's the conversion factor you need:

1 Kilometer   =   39370 inches

So, for your question we want to go 405,696 km....

405696 km   x   39370 inches/ 1 km  =   15972283464 inches

                       

15972283464 inches   x   2.54 x10^8 atoms/1 inch   =   4.05 x 10^18 atoms

Describe the charges of the particles in the atom and how charge is distributed within an atom.
trapecia [35]
There are MANY subatomic particles in an atom.
But the three most important ones are
The electron which has a negative charge.
The proton having a positive charge.
And the neutron which is neutral or which has no charge at all.
The protons and neutrons club together and form the inner, heavy part of the atom which is positively charges because of the protons known as the nucleus.
And electrons remain farther away in all reality and revolve around the inner positive nucleus.
Trying its best to make the whole atom neutral!

Which statement best describes the amount of catalyst that remains at the end of a reaction?
Ivenika [448]
I believe the correct answer is C. The amount of catalyst is the same at the end as at the beginning of the reaction. Catalysts can't be consumed by the reaction thus is not D.

Answer: Gunpowder

Explanation:

Gunpowder is made by mixing potassium nitrate with two fuels (atoms that can combine with oxygen atoms and release energy), carbon (charcoal) and sulfur. The oxygen atoms leave the nitrates and move onto the carbon and sulfur atoms, releasing a buttload of energy.
