Name two hormones produced by the endocrine system and describe how they work with other organ systems to maintain homeostasis

2 answers:

The 2 hormones are insulin & glucagon.

A hormone will only act on a part of the body it 'fits'. A hormone can be thought of as a key, and its target site ( i.e an organ) has specially shaped locks on the cell walls.
If the hormone fits, then it will work.

The hormone can set off a cascade of other singling pathways in the cell to cause an immediate effect ( for instance, insulin signaling leads to a rapid uptake of glucose in muscle cells)

The endocrine system is a tightly regulated system that keeps the hormones and their effects at just the right level. One way this is achieved is through ' feedback loops'. The release of hormones is regulated by other hormones, proteins or neuronal signals.

The released hormone then has its effect on other organs. This effect on the organ feeds back to the original signal to control any further hormone release.

nswer the following questions relating to HCl, CH3Cl, and CH3Br.HCl(g), can be prepared by the reaction of concentrated H2SO4(ag

alexdok [17]

Answer:

It is an example of double displacement reaction.

4.8 g of NaCl is needed to react.

Explanation:

Balanced reaction: $H_{2}SO_{4}(aq.)+2NaCl(s)\rightarrow 2HCl(g)+Na_{2}SO_{4}(aq.)$

Here, oxidation states of H, S, O, Na and Cl do not change during reaction. Hence it is not a redox reaction.

In this reaction, cations and anions of the reactants interchange their partners during reaction. Hence, it is an example of double displacement reaction.

As $H_{2}SO_{4}(aq.)$ remain in excess amount therefore NaCl (s) is the limiting reagent. Hence production of HCl entirely depends on amount of NaCl used.

Molar mass of HCl = 36.46 g/mol

So, 3.0 g of HCl = $\frac{3.0}{36.46}$ mol of HCl = 0.082 mol of HCl

According to balanced equation-

2 moles of HCl are produced from 2 moles of NaCl

So, 0.082 moles of HCl are produced from 0.082 moles of NaCl

Molar mass of NaCl = 58.44 g/mol

So, mass of 0.082 moles of NaCl = $(0.082\times 58.44)$ g = 4.8 g

Hence 4.8 g of NaCl is needed to react.

For the first order process: AB The half-life of A is 62.1 seconds. If a sample of A initially has 250.0 g, what mass (in g) of

Molodets [167]

<u>Answer:</u> The mass of sample A after given time is 99.05 g.

<u>Explanation:</u>

All the radioactive reactions follows first order kinetics.

The equation used to calculate half life for first order kinetics:

$t_{1/2}=\frac{0.693}{k}$

We are given:

$t_{1/2}=62.1s$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$k=\frac{0.693}{62.1}=0.011s^{-1}$

Rate law expression for first order kinetics is given by the equation:

$k=\frac{2.303}{t}\log\frac{[A_o]}{[A]}$

where,

k = rate constant = $0.011s^{-1}$

t = time taken for decay process = 84.2 s

$[A_o]$ = initial amount of the reactant = 250 g

[A] = amount left after decay process = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.011s^{-1}=\frac{2.303}{84.2s}\log\frac{250}{[A]}$

$[A]=99.05g$

Hence, the mass of sample A after given time is 99.05 g.

What type(s) of intermolecular forces are expected between PF2Cl3 molecules?a. dispersion.b. dipole-dipole.c. ion-ion.d. hydroge

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

dispersion.

Explanation:

The molecule, PF2Cl3 is trigonal bipyramidal. The dipoles in the molecule cancel out since there is a symmetric charge distribution around the molecule hence the resultant dipole moment of the molecule is zero.

If the molecule is nonpolar, then the dominant intermolecular forces present are the weak dispersion forces, hence the answer above.

Phosphorous is prepared according to the following equation: Ca3(PO4)2 + 3SiO2 + 5C = 3CaSiO3 +5CO + 2P

ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

48546.7kg or 48546745g

Explanation:

so from this u can work out the amount of moles in phosphorous by doing mass / mr you have to convert the mass in kg to g so you times it by 1000. then divide it by 31 which is the mr of phosphorous. then u can use the molar ratio which is 2:1 . Then use the equation mass= moles*mr

so 97000*1000/31=312903moles

2:1

so 312903/2=156451 moles of ca3(PO4)2

so mass= moles*mr

156451*310.3=48494g

hope this helps u to understand(*°▽°*)
