Answer:

The Key difference between average vs weighted average is that simple average is nothing but simply adding up all the observation values and dividing the same by the total number of observations to calculate the average whereas weighted average is an average where each observation value will have a frequency assigned.

Which of the following has the fastest rate of spontaneous depolarization?

olya-2409 [2.1K]

The segment of the myocardial conduction framework that has the quickest rate of unconstrained depolarization is the S-A node.Depolarization goes through particular conduction pathways from the S-A hub to the A-V hub. This atrial depolarization happens at a most extreme rate of 0.3 m/sec

) Predict the product for the following reaction sequence. A) 2,2-dimethylpropanoic acid B) 3,3-dimethyl-2-butanone C) 2,2-dimet

cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

Option C. 2,2-dimethyl-1-propanol

Explanation:

The first attached picture, is the initial reactant.

Now, what happens in each step?, at first we have an alkyl bromide reacting with Mg/ether. This converts the reactant in a grignard reagent, which is often used in several ketones/ladehydes reactions, and even some acid and esthers.

Now, in the second step, we see this grignard reagent, reacting with CO₂ and H₃O⁺. At first, the grignard reagent will attach to the oxygen of the CO₂ by the MgBr, and the carbonated chain will attach to the carbonile. Then in acid medium, the OMGBr leaves the molecule, and form a carboxylic acid.

Finally, in the last step with LiAlH₄ and water, this compound just reduces the carboxylic acid to a primary alcohol, therefore, the only choice available is option c, 2,2-dimethyl-1-propanol.

See picture 2 below for the drawing.
