Why do transition metals compounds appear coloured?​

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.

Which explanation is true about what happens to a ray of light when it strikes a mirror? a. a light ray is transmitted toward a mirror at a certain angle. the light ray is then reflected by the mirror at an equal angle but in the opposite direction of the transmitted ray. b. an incident ray strikes a mirror at an angle with a line perpendicular to the mirror. the light ray is then reflected at an angle equal to the angle of incidence but on the opposite side of the perpendicular line. c. a reflecting ray strikes a mirror at an angle with a line perpendicular to the mirror. the light ray is then refracted at an angle equal to the angle of the reflecting ray and on the same side of the perpendicular line. d. an incident ray strikes a mirror at an angle with a line parallel to the mirror. the light ray is then transmitted at an angle equal to the angle of incidence but on the opposite side of the parallel line. you so much! : -d take the time to try and answer correctly.
