In a consecutive reaction system of the given figure bellow, when E1 is much greater than E2, the yield of B increases with the____________________?

Correct answer: A. Increase of temperature

  • A. Increase of temperature
  • B. Decrease of temperature
  • C. Increase in initial concentration of A
  • D. Decrease in initial concentration of A

Explanation

When E1 is greater than E2, the first reaction rate increases more sharply with temperature than the subsequent reaction, improving the relative formation of intermediate B. Therefore, increasing temperature increases B yield under the stated assumption.
