2007 ACF Fall - Packet by Trygve Meade - #7 [report this tossup]
A constitutive version of this relation governs the D-field and buries the effects of bound charge. Inserting this equation into the definition of the electrostatic potential yields Poisson's equation, while combining it with the divergence of Faraday's law of induction results in charge conservation. Oliver Heaviside noted that its two forms can be converted between by the divergence theorem. This law of physics states that the net electric flux out of a closed surface is proportional to the total charge enclosed. FTP, name this Maxwell equation named for a German mathematician.
Answer: Gauss' law for the electric field

As prime minister, this man sought to make his country a "Just Society." His tenure in office was briefly interrupted by Joe Clark. His Finance Minister, John Turner, resigned before he instituted wage and price controls in his country. This leader's time in office saw his country join the Group of Six to make the G7. He invoked the War Measures Act after the abduction of James Cross and Pierre Laporte by the FLQ in the October Crisis. This man established the Charter of Rights and Freedoms as part of the patriating Constitution Act of 1982 to remove his country from British law. For 10 points, name this Liberal prime minister of Canada who served from 1968-1984.
Answer: Pierre Elliott Trudeau
2006 ACF Regionals - Packet by Chicago B and Harvard B - #10 [report this tossup]
This procedure was first published with Claparede in 1881 in two forms, the second for a hydroxyl-substituted benzene. As performed today, it usually requires an initial acylation but, even with this, the relevant methanoate derivatives are notably unable to carry out the self- form of this reaction. One of the reactants contains a hydrogen alpha to a carbonyl; a deprotonation occurs at this site in the first step and the resulting conjugated system attacks the other reactant, an ester. It requires a strong base catalysis, so the relevant alkoxide is often added to the system. FTP, name this reaction of two esters to yield a beta-keto ester; a condensation named for a German chemist.
Answer: Claisen condensation (or Claisen reaction)
