Question
What is pseudo first order reaction? Give one· example of it.
Solution
A reaction which has higher order true rate law but experimentally found to behave as first order are called pseudo first order reaction.
e.g. `C_12H_22O_(11(aq))+H_2OrarrC_6H_12O_6+C_6H_12O_6`
Sucrose Glucose fractose
is an example of pseudo first order reaction, because water takes part in the reaction the true rate law
rate = k'[C12H22O11][H2O]
indicates that the reaction must be second order. Similarly to the hydrolysis of ester,[H2O] is constant and
the rate law became
rate=k[C12H22O11]
Thus, the second order true law is converted, to first order rate law.
