Assertion (A): According to steady state hypothesis, in a multistep reaction, the change in concentration with time for reactive intermediates is zero.
Reason (R): The intermediates are so reactive that after a brief initial period their concentrations rise from zero to a small value and remains constant for most of the duration of the reaction.
Reason (R): The intermediates are so reactive that after a brief initial period their concentrations rise from zero to a small value and remains constant for most of the duration of the reaction.
