What do voltage-gated ion channels open in response to?.

Chemistry
1 answer:
Pavlova-9 [17]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:Voltage-gated channels open (activate) in response to changes in membrane potential because the electric field acts on the channel to change its protein conformation (or state). It is voltage-gated sodium (Na+) channels that initiate action potentials and voltage-gated K+ channels that cause them to end.

Which of the following reactions Shows a chemical change producing a gas? APEX
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:2CH_3OH(l)+3O_2(g)\rightarrow2CO_2(g)+4H_2O(l)

Explanation: A chemical change is a reaction in which chemical composition of the substance changes. Some bonds are broken and some new bonds are formed.

The reactants are written in terms of their chemical formula on the left hand side and the products are written in terms of their chemical formula on right hand side with a arrow in between. The chemical symbols are followed by their physical states such as (l) for liquid, (s) for solid, (g) for gas and (aq) for aqueous.

Thus the only reaction producing a gas is 2CH_3OH(l)+3O_2(g)\rightarrow2CO_2(g)+4H_2O(l)

What happens when the vapor pressure of a liquid is equal to the external pressure? The liquid freezes The intermolecular forces
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

The liquid boils.

Explanation:

Vapor pressure is simply defined as the pressure exerted on a substance (solid/liquid) by the vapor of the substance collected just at the top of the surface of the substance. In concise words, it is the pressure of Vapor that is in contact with its solid or liquid state.

For a liquid, it is the pressure of the Vapor gathering at the top of the surface of the liquid.

When this Vapor pressure matches the external pressure, the temperature stays constant and the molecules of the liquid all through the liquid can gain enough energy, rise to the surface of the liquid and break free in gaseous form; thereby, boiling.

The definition of boiling point basically explains that it is the point at which temperature stays constant, and the vapour pressure of the liquid matches the atmospheric/external pressure around the liquid and its liquid molecules change into vapor.

This is why liquids boil faster at higher altitudes; the atmospheric pressure at higher altitudes is reduced, hence, the temperature at which liquid boils at this high altitude is normally lower than its known boiling point temperature.

It is also why food cooks to a temperature higher than the boiling point of water in a pressure cooker/pot. The added pressure ensures that the cooking water boils at temperatures higher than its boiling point; thereby exposing the cooking ingredients to a higher temperature, leading to faster cooking.

Hence, it is obvious why boiling is the answer to this question.

So you see the triangle with the letters, look at what you're given. you have mass and volume solving for density. So you take the mass and divide it by the volume. 15.2/15.5 which your answer is 0.98 or 1.0 that's your density.
