Cocaine selectively blocks sodium channels which is the mechanism that leads to local anesthetic effects.
Voltage gated sodium channels play very important roles in the body as they are responsible for action initiation and propagation in excitable cells, such as nerves, muscles and neuroendocrine cells. Like other sodium ion channels blockers such as lidocaine, Cocaine selectively blocks sodium ion channels which denies entry of sodium ions in the cell, thus leading to local anesthetic effects.

The ratio of carbon atoms to hydrogen atoms to oxygen atoms in a molecule of dicyclohexyl maleate is 4 to 6 to 1. what is its mo

Semenov [28]

Knowing the ratio between atoms we can write an empirical formula:

C4H6O 

we compute the molar mass of this single formula: 
4x12 + 6 x 1 + 16 x1 = 70 g / mol 

Now, as we know the actual molar mas being 280 g/mol, we divide this number by 70 and we get the ratio between empirical formula and molecular actual formula: 

280 / 70 = 4 

This means that actual molecular formula is: 

(C4H6O)4 or 

C16H24O4

A student is using a coffee-cup calorimeter to determine the enthalpy change of the endothermic reaction of two aqueous solution

Liula [17]

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

First, it should be understood that an endothermic reaction is one that absorbs energy in the form of heat from the surrounding. The products of endothermic reactions usually have higher energy than their reactants. Hence, the ΔH° which is referred to as the enthalpy change is usually positive.

Forgetting to cover the coffee-cup calorimeter means some of the heat energy absorbed by the reactants would be exchanged back to the surroundings - a loss. It also means that the enthalpy change would be smaller compared to if the cup had been covered because some of the heat has been lost to the surrounding.
