Ans:-

Since volue of K comes out to be nearly constant. So, it is Ist order.

at a different rate. Find the time at which max conc. Of B occurs and this concentration?
Given k1 and k2
sol :-

Dumb question:
why is 
sol:- b forms at a rate of k,a it instanteously goes to c with arate k2
now a=A0 l-kt(on integration)

Now applying mass balance :
A0= A + B + c
so c= A0-A-B

the maximum conc of b occurs when

so k1A=k2B[from 2]
