The first order series reaction is conducted in a batch reactor. The initial concentrations of A, B and C (CA0, CB0, CC0 respectively) are all non-zero. The variation of CB with reaction time will not show a maximum, if
k2 CB0 > k1 CA0
k CA0 > k2.CB0
CB0 > CA0
CA0 > CB0

@Kiran.

Rate of formation of C is = k2Cbo.
Rate of formation of B is = K1Ca0.

If C is formed very quickly as compared to B as shown by the rates then B will never reach a maximum. It will just continuously diminish with time.
