In what way may drugs be used to affect neurotransmitters?

Chemistry

Orlov [11]2 years ago

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.

Answer:

15g

Explanation:

The equation for the reaction is given below:

CaO + SO2 —> CaSO3

Molar Mass of CaO = 40 + 16 = 56g/mol

Molar Mass of CaSO3 = 40 + 32 + (16x3) = 40 + 32 + 48 = 120g/mol

From the equation,

56g of CaO produced 120g of CaSO3.

Therefore, 7g of CaO will produce = (7 x 120)/56 = 15g of CaSO3

Therefore, 15g of CaSO3 is produce
