Question

Which among the following reactions is an example of pseudo first order reaction?

विकल्प

• Inversion of cane sugar 

• Decomposition of H₂O₂

• Conversion of cyclopropane to propene 

• Decomposition of N₂O₅

Answer 1

Inversion of cane sugar

Explanation:

Pseudo first order reaction e.g., inversion of cane sugar is an example of

\[\ce{\underset{(Canesugar)}{\underset{Sucrose}{C12H22O11}} + H2O ->[H+] \underset{Glucose}{C6H12O6} + \underset{Fructose}{C6H12O6}}\]

The concentration of water remains constant.
