Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason as to why carbon-14 is not a good radioisotope for the determination of the age of a coal bed which is several million years old is to be explained.

Concept introduction:

The type of radioactive decay in which an alpha particle is emitted by the nucleus of an atom such that an atom of another element is produced after decay is known as alpha decay. An alpha particle is a helium nucleus. The radioactive decay in which a positron or an electron is emitted is known as beta decay.

The number of microstates corresponding to each macrostate is given by N. The dominant macrostate or configuration of a system is the macrostate with the greatest weight W. Are both statements correct?
For the single step reaction: A + B → 2C + 25 kJ If the activation energy for this reaction is 35.8 kJ, sketch an energy vs. reaction coordinate diagram for this reaction. Be sure to label the following on your diagram: each of the axes, reactant compounds and product compounds, enthalpy of reaction, activation energy of the forward reaction with the correct value, activation energy of the backwards reaction with the correct value and the transition state. In the same sketch you drew, after the addition of a homogeneous catalyst, show how it would change the graph. Label any new line "catalyst" and label any new activation energy.
