Some redwood trees reproduce both sexually and asexually. once a tree reaches maturity, it can reproduce with another tree through pollination and fertilization. the tree then disperses thousands of seeds so that some of them might take root. however, a tree can also reproduce asexually. if it falls down, several smaller trees can sprout from its trunk without the need of fertilization. why is it advantageous for a redwood to reproduce sexually when it could reproduce asexually instead? a. it decreases the time needed to produce b. it increases the genetic diversity of the trees offspring c. it increases the energy needed to produce d. it reduces the time needed to find a mate

C3h8o3 - glycerol major species present when dissolved in water

Straightforward questions answered in the powerpoint slidesreaction: heating the starting materials under refluxwhat does it mean to heat under reflux? why do we choose water as the reflux solvent? what are boiling chips used for? why do we put a condenser on top of the reaction? why do we add heat and let the reaction stir for 30 minutes? why do we add sulfuric acid to the reaction after it cools as opposed to when it’s still hot? separation: filtration of precipitatewhy don’t we do an aqueous and organic extraction in the separatory funnel? why do you rinse the salicylic acid on the filter with ice cold water? purification: recrystallization of salicylic acid (no hot filtration needed)what is the difference in the amount of room temperature water vs. boiling water needed to dissolve the salicylic acid (assume a 1.2 gram yield of salicylic acid)? remember, in the lab if you need x ml of boiling water to dissolve a solid, then you should add a little more (definitely no more than 1.5 times the theoretical amount) to ensure it doesn’t recrystallize prematurely. analysis: melting point of salicylic acidwhat can you conclude if the melting point of the salicylic acid you just synthesized is 152-155oc and the 1: 1 mix of your product and “synthetic” salicylic acid is 151-154oc?
