Question
Chapter 15, Problem 69QP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The four different effects of radiation on the living biological cells is to be written.
Concept Introduction:
Radioactive isotopes are used to treat cancer but at the same time they also cause cancer. Radiation from radioactive isotopes causes damage to the living cells and this damage depends on the intensity and length of radiation exposure. Almost all the natural things, such as soil, granite, water, food as well as air contains radioactive nuclides. The intensity of radiation varies from source to source. Also, the inhalation of radon gas causes lung cancer.

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.
