consecutive reaction, as shown in the bellow figure, is characterised by __________________?
Correct answer: B. Maxima in the concentration of B
- A. AA. Maxima in the concentration of A
- B. Maxima in the concentration of B
- C. Maxima in the concentration of C
- D. High exothermicity
Explanation
For the consecutive sequence A → B → C, the intermediate B is first formed and then consumed, so its concentration rises to a maximum and subsequently falls. A is normally consumed continuously, while C generally increases toward its final value.
