Alkene: Unsaturated hydrocarbons having at least one double bond between two carbon atoms are known as alkenes.

  • Trans configuration: In trans configuration, carbon atoms present in the main chain are placed on opposite sides of the carbon-carbon double bond.
  • Cis configuration: In cis configuration, carbon atoms present in the main chain are placed on same sides of the carbon-carbon double bond.

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.
