Answer:
The significance of "Er" in the diagram is :
B.) Threshold energy for reaction
Explanation:
Threshold energy : It is total amount of energy required by the reactant molecule to reach the transition state .
Activation energy : It is the excess energy absorbed by the molecules to reach the transition state.
<u>Activation Energy = Threshold Energy - Average Kinetic Energy</u>
<u>This means Activation energy decreases on increasing kinetic energy</u>
On increasing Temperature average kinetic energy of the molecule increases which reduces the activation energy and the reaction occur faster in that case.
Catalyst also reduces the Activation energy.
<u>Er = Threshshold energy for reaction at 30 degree</u>
<u>Ea = Activation Energy</u>
<u>The given figure shows that the threshold energy decreases on increasing the temperature</u>
<u>Only the molecule having energy greater than Er can react to form product</u>

You have to be very careful with this question. A change in mass can also occur in chemical changes especially if you have too much of something. For example
CH4 + 1.5 02 ===> CO2 + H2O
If you have too much of either CH4 or O2, there will be some CH4 or O2 left over. There has been a change in mass that you have too much of.
However that is not the point of the question. It is just something you need to be aware of.
Suppose you have a piece of aluminum and you take a course grinder after it. You will change the texture of the side you took the grinder to. If the aluminum has been anodized (a color has been put on it's surface), you may grind the color off or if it is just plain aluminum, you may roughen the surface, but you won't change what the aluminum will do chemically.
You may need only a small portion of the aluminum and you grind off just what you need. That will change the mass of both what you took off and the piece that you want, but the aluminum will still do whatever chemical property you need to use.
So you can change both texture and mass without changing the chemical properties of the substance whose mass or texture you are changing.
<span>There are only three stereoisomers of 1,2-dimethylcyclopentane. As there are only two chiral carbons, so the maximum number of stereoisomers is 4, but two are the same meso-compound which means that there are only 3.</span>
