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.

Identify the mixture of powdered charcoal and powdered sugar and suggest a technique for separating their components
mihalych1998 [28]
A- Identify the mixture:
The mixture of powdered charcoal and powdered sugar is considered as a homogeneous mixture. This means that you cannot identify the components with naked eye as they are uniformly distributed in the mixture.

B- Separate components:
You ca separate the charcoal powder from the sugar powder using the following steps:
1- add water. Sugar will dissolve in water while charcoal won't.
2- filter the solution where the powdered charcoal will remain on the filter paper and the solution of powder will pass through.
3- boil the sugar solution (above 100 degrees celcius). The water will evaporate and the sugar will precipitate.

Why is identifying unknown compounds important to chemistry?
Galina-37 [17]
Determining the identity of substances is a critical part of chemistry because once the substance's identity is known, we can predict its behavior and understand the scenarios that it is involved in better.
For example, consider an industrial pipe where fouling (scaling) is occurring. If the compounds present in the scales are identified, steps may be taken to prevent and remove the scaling. This is one of many examples where identifying chemical substances is of high importance.
