Options
- A{\mu}_{B} > {\mu}_{A}{k}_{e}\left(A\right) > {k}_{e}\left(B\right)
- B{\mu}_{A} > {\mu}_{B}{k}_{e}\left(B\right) > {k}_{e}\left(A\right)
- C{\mu}_{B} > {\mu}_{A}{k}_{e}\left(B\right) > {k}_{e}\left(A\right)
- D{\mu}_{A} > {\mu}_{B}{k}_{e}\left(A\right) > {k}_{e}\left(B\right)
Correct answer
B. {\mu}_{A} > {\mu}_{B}{k}_{e}\left(B\right) > {k}_{e}\left(A\right)
Step-by-step solution
(B) with more steric crowding forms elimination product compared to substitution
