Chemical Kinetics · Potential energy reaction profile

A→D\ce{A -> D} is an endothermic reaction occurring in three steps (elementary).

(i) A→B\ce{A -> B} ΔHi=+\Delta H_\mathrm{i} = +ve

(ii) B→C\ce{B -> C} ΔHii=−\Delta H_\mathrm{ii} = -ve

(iii) C→D\ce{C -> D} ΔHiii=−\Delta H_\mathrm{iii} = -ve

Which of the following graphs between potential energy (y-axis) vs reaction coordinate (x-axis) correctly represents the reaction profile of A→D\ce{A -> D} ?

  1. (1)
