For a reaction $\mathrm{A} \xrightarrow{\mathrm{K}_1} \mathrm{~B} \xrightarrow{\mathrm{K}_2} \mathrm{C}$ If the rate of formation of $B$ is set to be zero then the concentration of $B$ is given by :

Question

Aicharya · Accepted Answer

Rate of formation of $B$ is $\begin{aligned} & \frac{\mathrm{d}[\mathrm{B}]}{\mathrm{dt}}=\mathrm{k}_1[\mathrm{~A}]-\mathrm{k}_2[\mathrm{~B}] \ & 0=\mathrm{k}_1[\mathrm{~A}]-\mathrm{k}_2[\mathrm{~B}] \ & \left(\frac{\mathrm{k}_1}{\mathrm{k}_2}ight)[\mathrm{A}]=[\mathrm{B}]\end{aligned}$
