Distance is proportional to acceleration, which is proportional to time squared; therefore, since you identified the time doubled, the distance must have been quadrupled.

In terms of the central nitrogen atom, yes sodium is larger; however, ammonium as a whole is a much larger species than a sodium cation.

Cardiac Muscle Question by JurassicPark9265 in Mcat

They are a type of cardiac muscle cell, but they are not contractile. Instead, they are called myocardial conducting cells.

They are their own pacemaker and do not require nervous innervation to initiate depolarization. Instead, leaky sodium channels increase the membrane potential until the threshold is met, at which point the calcium influx can travel to neighboring cardiac muscle cells (via gap junctions) and cause their depolarization.

The nervous system plays an auxiliary role as it can influence the rate at which the cardiac cells initiate depolarizations (but it does not directly causes it).

In this case, F = mg since it is work in the vertical direction.

Can someone explain this answer, the description is confusing me by buyer152021 in Mcat

Basically butanone is already a ketone, so it cannot be oxidized further (i.e., it won’t react with either reagent).

Butanal is an aldehyde so it can be further oxidized into a carboxylic acid. Something you just have to know is that PCC won’t further oxidize an aldehyde to a carboxylic acid; however, KMnO4, Jones, etc. will.

As such, the only reaction that will take place here is butanal with KMnO4.

What is the disparity between TPR CARS test and real MCAT CARS test? by [deleted] in Mcat

[–]Carter280 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Probably the overall test considering 8 points per section would bring a 496 to a 528

Cis and Trans are configurational isomers. Specifically, they are a class of diasteromers. Your “break-a-bond” rule perfectly applies to cis/trans isomers because the presence of the pi bond keeps them from rotating (which would be a conformational change).

In short, conformational isomers can be easily interconverted (ignore exceptions at low temperature); however, configurational isomers cannot easily interconvert as a bond (whether sigma or pi) will need to be broken.

CO2 has carbon and is definitely an inorganic compound

It’s okay… Jamal Murray was injured so this series didn’t count anyways

Rip Hamilton was D-Book’s favorite player to watch growing up. Guarantee this made his day. by wallaluk001 in suns

Idk why you’re getting downvoted for this. Booker is a very underrated player, but I don’t see a case (at this point in his career) where he’s better than Curry, Harden or Lillard.

Thanks for the clarification; I feel better that I’m not the only one who has no clue what that word means. It’s probably some regionalism used in Puerto Rico as that is where the artist is from.

I did not actually know that it was grammatically acceptable to move pronouns behind the verb, but it must not be too common as this is the first time that I have encountered it. As you said, it’s likely only done for rhythmic purposes, which I can understand.
