Answer: The mass number of an oxygen isotope that has nine neutrons is 17 and isotope is called as Oxygen-17.

Explanation:

Atomic number is defined as the number of protons or number of electrons that are present in an atom.

For a neutral atom:

Atomic number = Number of electrons = Number of proton

Atomic number= Number of protons = 8

Mass number is defined as the sum of number of protons and neutrons that are present in an atom.

Mass number = Number of protons + Number of neutrons

Given: Number of neutrons = 9

Thus mass number = Number of protons + Number of neutrons = 8 + 9 = 17.

Isotopes are elements which have same atomic number but different mass number.

Thus the mass number of an oxygen isotope that has nine neutrons is 17 and isotope is called as Oxygen-17.

Compound Y has the elements C, H, N and O. It's exact mass is 91.0425. Answer the following questions. Isotope Exact Mass 1H 1.0
Talja [164]

Answer:

Six C atoms (C₆); five H atoms (H₅); one N atom (N); no O atoms

Explanation:

The rule of 13 states that the formula of a compound is a multiple n of 13 (the molar mass of CH) plus a remainder r.

MF = CₙHₙ₊ᵣ

Y has a molecular mass of 91 u

91/13 =7r0

The formula can't be C₇H₇ because a hydrocarbon must have an even number of H atoms,

The odd mass and the odd number of H atoms make it reasonable to add an N atom and subtract CH₂ (CH₂ = 14):

C₇H₇ + N - CH₂ = C₆H₅N

Check:

6C = 6 × 12.000 = 72.000 u

5H = 5 ×   1.008 =   5.040

1N =  1 × 14.003 =  <u>14.003    </u>

             TOTAL =   91.043 u

This is excellent agreement with the observed mass of 91.0425 u.

There are six  C atoms (C₆)

There are five H atoms (H₅)

There is    one N atom   (N)

There are no   O atoms.

Answer:

Condensation

Explanation:

An exothermic process is one in which heat is lost. Condensation is a change of state from gas to liquid. Thus is loses heat.

In what way may drugs be used to affect neurotransmitters?
Orlov [11]
Drugs interfere with the way neurons send, receive, and process signals via neurotransmitters. Some drugs, such as marijuana and heroin, can activate neurons because their chemical structure mimics that of a natural neurotransmitter in the body. This allows the drugs to attach onto and activate the neurons. Although these drugs mimic the brain’s own chemicals, they don’t activate neurons in the same way as a natural neurotransmitter, and they lead to abnormal messages being sent through the network.

Other drugs, such as amphetamine or cocaine, can cause the neurons to release abnormally large amounts of natural neurotransmitters or prevent the normal recycling of these brain chemicals by interfering with transporters. This too amplifies or disrupts the normal communication between neurons.
