In what way may drugs be used to affect neurotransmitters?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Orlov [11]3 years ago
3 0
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.

How many atoms (mol) is in 10g of sodium, sodium chloride and Iron chloride?
SashulF [63]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Molar mass of NaCl = 58.5 g

Number of moles contained in 10 g of NaCl = 10 g/58.5 g = 0.17 moles

If 1 mole of NaCl contains 6.02 * 10^23 atoms

0.17 moles of NaCl contains 0.17 * 6.02 * 10^23 atoms = 1.02 * 10^23 atoms

Molar mass of Fe II chloride = 126.751 g/mol

Number of moles = 10 g/126.751 g/mol = 0.0789 moles

Number of atoms = 0.0789 moles *  6.02 * 10^23 atoms = 4.7 * 10^22 atoms

Molar mass of Na = 23 g/mol

Number of moles = 10g/23 g/mol = 0.43 moles

Number of atoms = 0.43 moles *  6.02 * 10^23 atoms = 2.59 * 10^ 23 atoms

Which of the following solutes will lower the freezing point of water the most? NaCl, CaCl2!or AlBr3
MA_775_DIABLO [31]
This uses the concept of freezing point depression. When faced with this issue, we use the following equation:
ΔT = i·Kf·m
which translates in english to:
Change in freezing point = vant hoff factor * molal freezing point depression constant * molality of solution
Because the freezing point depression is a colligative property, it does not depend on the identity of the molecules, just the number of them.
Now, we know that molality will be constant, and Kf will be constant, so our only unknown is "i", or the van't hoff factor.
The van't hoff factor is the number of atoms that dissociate from each individual molecule. The higher the van't hoff factor, the more depressed the freezing point will be.
NaCl will dissociate into Na+ and Cl-, so it has i = 2
CaCl2 will dissociate into Ca2+ and 2 Cl-, so it has i = 3
AlBr3 will dissociate into Al3+ and 3 Br-, so it has i = 4
Therefore, AlBr3 will lower the freezing point of water the most.

What is the percent composition of chromium in BaCrO4
Allushta [10]

The answer is: the percent composition of chromium is 20.52%.

Ar(Cr) = 52; atomic mass of chromium.

Mr(BaCrO₄) = 253.3; molecular mass of barium chromate.

ω(Cr) = Ar(Cr) ÷ Mr(BaCrO₄) · 100%.

ω(Cr) = 52 ÷ 253.3 ·100%.

ω(Cr) = 20.52%; the percent composition of chromium in barium chromate.
