PROBLEM: Fascinated in his youth by the sea and ships, he spent two years of his reign traveling throughout Europe learning the techniques of shipbuilding, but upon his return was forced to put down a revolt of the streltsy. Originally joint emperor with his retarded brother Ivan under the regency of his half-sister Sophia, he soon seized power, and later had his son Alexei tortured to death to maintain his rule. His seizure and eventual loss of Azov was his first notable attempt to gain greater maritime access, which was completed with his gain of a section of the Baltic coast, where he founded his new capital, modeled on the Western ideas he forced upon his country. FTP, who was this victor in the Great Northern War who from 1682-1725 ruled Russia

SOLUTION: History

PROBLEM: It exists because of electron degeneracy pressure; as electrons are compressed closer together, more exist per unit volume and must take on higher energy levels as mandated by the Pauli-exclusion principle. A relativistic state equation can be used to calculate it as the radius of a white dwarf decreases with an increase in its mass. Developed shortly before its namesakes theory on black holes, for ten points, name this value of about 1.4 solar masses, the maximum mass of a star which can be supported against gravitational collapse.

SOLUTION: Science

PROBLEM: Potassium iodate and chloromethane are used to find iodine equivalents in the Andrews version of this procedure, while EDTA and Euriochrome Black T are used to chelate metal ions in the complexometric version of this procedure. The redox variety can use a potentiometer to find the endpoint, but the most famous type uses methylene orange or phenolphthalein. FTP, name this chemical technique, often done with a buret, used to find the concentration of a reactant by dripping in an analyte, usually done with an acid and base.

SOLUTION:
