Kinetics of the A โ Bโ ะก Mechanism: Full Analytical Derivation
The kinetics of consecutive first-order reactions $$\ce{A->[k_1]B->[k_2]C}$$ provides a classic example of a system that leads to an elegant analytical solution. In this article, I derive the full expression for the time dependence of the product concentration C(t), starting directly from the reaction mechanism.
