The reaction appear to be second order but follows the first order but actually follow lower order kinetics are called pseudo first order reaction :
Example : Hydrolysis of conc sugar
`underset("Conc Sugar")(C_12H_22O_11) + H_2O("excess") to underset("Glucose")(C_5H_12O_5) + underset("Fructose")(C_6H_12O_6)`
