Q. The following mechanism has been proposed for the exothermic catalyzed complex reaction. $A + B\xrightleftharpoons{\text{fast}} I AB \xrightarrow{k_1} AB + I \xrightarrow{k_2}P + A$ If $k _{1}$ is much smaller than $k _{2}$. The most suitable qualitative plot of potential energy (P.E.) versus reaction coordinate for the above reaction.
