Explanation:

Hormones and neurotransmitters are the different chemical messengers. Hormones are former produced by endocrine glands and neurotransmitters are produced by nervous system.

Hormones are secreted from endocrine system and are released into bloodstream, but hormones act on the distant target cells. Some hormones  like cortisol and melatonin are produced in brain and released in blood and affect other parts of body.

On other hand, the neurotransmitters are released from presynaptic nerve terminal in brain. Neurotransmitters move across synaptic cleft and then move to next neuron. At this site, they bind to specific receptors, causing changes in electrical properties of the target cells, which further can cause different postsynaptic effects. Their have fast actions.

Example of hormones:

Follicle stimulating hormone is released by pituitary gland into bloodstream. FSH is essential to the pubertal development and function of the women’s ovaries and the men’s testes.

Example of neurotransmitters :

Monoamine neurotransmitter, serotonin helps in regulating the mood, sleep and appetite as well as cthe ognitive functions such as memory and attention.

Magnesium reacts with hydrochloric acid, HCl, to form magnesium chloride and hydrogen gas. The reaction is: Mg + 2HCl → MgCl2 +
prisoha [69]
Answer is: mass of HCl is 15,6 g.
Chemical reaction: Mg + 2HCl → MgCl₂ + H₂.
m(Mg) = 5,2 g.
n(Mg) = m(Mg) ÷ M(Mg).
n(Mg) = 5,2 g ÷ 24,3 g/mol.
n(Mg) = 0,213 mol.
From chemical reaction: n(Mg) : n(HCl) = 1 : 2.
n(HCl) = 0,426 mol.
m(HCl) = 0,426 mol · 36,45 g/mol.
m(HCl) = 15,6 g.

Balance the following chemical equation, then answer the following question.
Setler79 [48]

The following chemical equation 2C8H18(g)+ 25O2(g)→ 16CO2(g)+ 18H2O(g) is balance and 48.64 grams of oxygen is required in the combustion of octane in gasoline.

<h3>What is combustion?</h3>

When burning of petrol happens and releases toxic hydrocarbons and carbon dioxide gasses with some amount of oxygen is known as combustion.

The balanced chemical equation is 2C8H18(g)+ 25O2(g)→ 16CO2(g)+ 18H2O(g),

                      number of moles = mass / molar mass

substituting the value in equation,

 

                      number of moles = 14 / 114g = 0.122 moles.

number of moles of oxygen 0.122 × 0.122 moles. = 1.52 moles.

                    1.52 = mass / 32

                      mass = 48.64 gram.

Therefore,48.64 grams of oxygen is required in the combustion of octane in gasoline.
