33. A heteroalkane is an alkane where h carbon atoms have been replaced by heteroatoms, which are represented by coloring the points of the molecular graph with a unique color label for each element. Alkanes are subsumed as the trivial case for which h = 0.

47. The C-s plot for a one-step reaction is a trapezoid with area 1/2 Δs [C(A) + C(B)] = 1/2C(A)+1/2C(B), as Δs = 1. More elaborate C-s plots can be integrated by summing trapezoids, see ref. 9.
