WHY does an acceleration cause velocity to increase

harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

When the velocity of an object changes it is said to be accelerating. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time. ... Acceleration occurs anytime an object's speed increases or decreases, or it changes direction.

Explain the process of synaptic transmission, beginning with the neurotransmitters at the axon terminal of the presynaptic cell

nydimaria [60]

The synapse is actually the link between 2 neurons. Now when an action potential contacts the synaptic knob of a neuron, the voltage-gate calcium channels are unlocked, resulting in an influx of positively charged calcium ions into the cell. This makes the vesicles containing neurotransmitters, for example acetylcholine, to travel towards the pre-synaptic membrane. When the vesicle arrives at the membrane, the contents are released into the synaptic cleft by exocytosis. Neurotransmitters disperse across the space, down to its concentration gradient, up until it reaches the post-synaptic membrane, where it connects to the correct neuroreceptors. Connecting to the neuroreceptors results in depolarisation in the post-syanaptic neuron as voltage-gated sodium channels are also opened, and the positively charged sodium ions travel into the cell. When adequate neurotransmitters bind to neuroreceptors, the post-synaptic membrane overcame the threshold level of depolarisation and an action potential is made and the impulse is transmitted.

ome metal oxides can be decomposed to the metal and oxygen under reasonable conditions. 2 Ag2O(s) → 4 Ag(s) + O2(g) Thermodynami

yuradex [85]

Answer : The values of $\Delta H^o,\Delta S^o\text{ and }\Delta G^o$ are $62.2kJ,132.67J/K\text{ and }22.66kJ$ respectively.

Explanation :

The given balanced chemical reaction is,

$2Ag_2O(s)\rightarrow 4Ag(s)+O_2(g)$

First we have to calculate the enthalpy of reaction $(\Delta H^o)$ .

$\Delta H^o=H_f_{product}-H_f_{product}$

$\Delta H^o=[n_{Ag}\times \Delta H_f^0_{(Ag)}+n_{O_2}\times \Delta H_f^0_{(O_2)}]-[n_{Ag_2O}\times \Delta H_f^0_{(Ag_2O)}]$

where,

$\Delta H^o$ = enthalpy of reaction = ?

n = number of moles

$\Delta H_f^0$ = standard enthalpy of formation

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:

$\Delta H^o=[4mole\times (0kJ/mol)+1mole\times (0kJ/mol)}]-[2mole\times (-31.1kJ/mol)]$

$\Delta H^o=62.2kJ=62200J$

conversion used : (1 kJ = 1000 J)

Now we have to calculate the entropy of reaction $(\Delta S^o)$ .

$\Delta S^o=S_f_{product}-S_f_{product}$

$\Delta S^o=[n_{Ag}\times \Delta S_f^0_{(Ag)}+n_{O_2}\times \Delta S_f^0_{(O_2)}]-[n_{Ag_2O}\times \Delta S_f^0_{(Ag_2O)}]$

where,

$\Delta S^o$ = entropy of reaction = ?

n = number of moles

$\Delta S_f^0$ = standard entropy of formation

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:

$\Delta S^o=[4mole\times (42.55J/K.mole)+1mole\times (205.07J/K.mole)}]-[2mole\times (121.3J/K.mole)]$

$\Delta S^o=132.67J/K$

Now we have to calculate the Gibbs free energy of reaction $(\Delta G^o)$ .

As we know that,

$\Delta G^o=\Delta H^o-T\Delta S^o$

At room temperature, the temperature is 298 K.

$\Delta G^o=(62200J)-(298K\times 132.67J/K)$

$\Delta G^o=22664.34J=22.66kJ$

Therefore, the values of $\Delta H^o,\Delta S^o\text{ and }\Delta G^o$ are $62.2kJ,132.67J/K\text{ and }22.66kJ$ respectively.
