instruction:
In this task you will be given a text passage from a trivia quiz. You should choose the category this question belongs to from these categories: History, Science, Social Science, Fine Arts, Literature. You can only choose one category, so if in doubt, please choose the closest match.
question:
Doctors Hollatz and Hornstetter insist this novel's protagonist suffered from excessive isolation, not helped when bullies like Nuchi Eyke and Susi Kater forced him to drink a soup of bricks, urine, and live frogs, though Gretchen Scheffler pitied him and taught him about Rasputin and Goethe. After his father marries his lover Maria Truczinski, the protagonist leads a gang called the Dusters, and joins a jazz band at the Onion Cellar, but Vittlar turns him in for killing Sister Dorothea after he flees his hometown Danzig after World War II. FTP, name this novel about Oskar Matzerath and his toy instrument, by Gunther Grass.
answer:
Literature

question:
In the Corey-Bakshi-Shibata catalyst, an atom of it is attached to a pyrrole ring, an oxygen atom, and a toluene group. This element's acids are combined with amines and ketones in the Petasis reaction and in combining alkyl halides through the Suzuki coupling. Complexes containing it are called sido or arachno according to Wade's rules, and a more famous reaction using it is sometimes named for Herbert Brown. Mined from the ore Uletite, its silicate was once used in making hard glass for manufacturing laboratory equipment. For 10 points, name this element that participates in an anti-markonikov addition reaction to alkenes, with atomic number 5 and symbol B.
answer:
Science

question:
The collisionless Boltzman equation is often referred to as this, and it can be used to extend the Runge-Gross theorem to time-dependent ensembles. A corollary of this result is that symplectic maps of Hamiltonian functions must preserve area. Applying this theorem to the expectation value of an observable in quantum mechanics gives a result that can also be derived by finding the expection value of the Heisenberg equation of motion, known as Ehrenfest's theorem. It can be expressed as the time derivative of a density equals the negative Poisson bracket of that density and the Hamiltonian. In the ergodic formulation, this theorem predicts smooth measure invariance under Hamiltonian flow, and it is equivalent to the Second Law of Thermodynamics. For 10 points, name this theorem in statistical mechanics which states the density of points is constant along a phase space trajectory with time.
