Textbook Question
Chapter 31, Problem 31.29P
An isoprene unit can be thought of as having a head and a tail. The “head” of the isoprene unit is located at the end of the chain nearest the branch point, and the “tail” is located at the end of the carbon chain farthest from the branch point. Most isoprene units are connected together in a “head-to-tail” fashion, as illustrated. For both lycopene (Problem 31.26), and squalene (Figure 31.9), decide which isoprene units are connected in a head-to-tail fashion and which are not.
These two isoprene units are
connected in head-tail fashion.

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.
