Question

Write notes on consecutive reactions with an example.

Answer 1

The reaction in which the reactant forms an intermediate and the intermediate forms the product in one or many subsequent reactions recalled consecutive reactions.
$A\stackrel{k_1}{\to }B\stackrel{k_2}{\to }C$
A= reactant, B intermediate, C = product only the reactant A will be present As the reaction starts, A produces an intermediate B through $K_1$, rate constant As and when B is formed, it produces the product C through $K_1$, rate constant. After the completion of reaction only is present and concentrations of A and B will be zero.
