Chapter 20, Problem 20.54P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The mechanism for the given reaction has to be proposed:

Concept Introduction:

Pericyclic reaction:

The pericyclic reaction involves the redistribution of six electrons through the formation of a cyclic transition state from which a diene compound gets converted into its isomeric form.

Example with mechanism of a pericyclic reaction:

ORGANIC CHEMISTRY-OWL V2 ACCESS, Chapter 20, Problem 20.54P

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.
