Pseudo first order reaction.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Inpseudo first order reaction, the rate of the reaction only depends on the change in concentration of the reacting species. The concentration of the other reacting species is so large that it does not change appreciably during the course of reaction. The acid hydrolysis of ethyl acetate is an example of pseudo first order reaction.`CH_3COOH_2H_5HOHiffCH_3COOHC_2H_5OH`Rate`=K[CH_3COOC_2H_5]`The above example is a bimolecular reaction but the order of reaction is one:.
