8 As a bee feeds upon the nectar produced by a flower, the bee may become coated with the flower's pollen. As the bee flies from flower to flower, some of this pollen may contact a flower's pistil, resulting in pollination. This relationship between the bee and the flower is an example of .

Which of the following statements is false regarding aromaticity? a. the compound must be cyclic b. the compound must be fully conjugated c. the compound must be planar d.the number of electrons in the pi system must satisfy the hückel 4n+2 rule e. the compound must have a neutral charge

1. suppose a reaction mixture, when diluted with water, afforded 300 ml of an aqueous solution of 30 g of the reaction product malononitrile [ch2(cn)2], which is to be isolated by extraction with ether. the solubility of malononitrile in ether at room temperature is 20.0 g/100 ml, and in water is 13.3 g/100 ml. what weight of malononitrile would be recovered by extraction with (a) three 100-ml portions of ether and (b) one 300-ml portion of ether? suggestion: for each extraction, let x equal the weight extracted into the ether layer. in part (a), the concentration in the ether layer is x/100 and in the water layer is (30 x)/300; the ratio of these quantities is equal to k 20/13.3.

The human eye contains a molecule called 11-cis-retinal that changes shape when struck with light of sufficient energy. the change in shape triggers a series of events that results in an electrical signal being sent to the brain that results in vision. the minimum energy required to change the conformation of 11-cis-retinal within the eye is about 164 kj/mol.
