Question

In a consecutive reaction system: A --(E1)--> B --(E2)--> C when E1 is much greater than E2, the yield of B increases with

Prashant Kotian · Accepted Answer

Correct answer: A,C. Because the activation energy E1 is much greater than E2, increasing the temperature accelerates the first step (producing B) significantly more than the second step (consuming B), resulting in a higher peak yield. Higher initial concentration simply scales the whole process, giving more absolute yield of B. Therefore, correct answer is A,C.
