Solution
The value of rate constant of a pseudo first order reaction depends on the concentration of reactants present in excess.
Explanation:
Let's start with what a pseudo-first-order response is.
Although the pseudo-first-order reaction looks to be an order, it belong to another order. it's a second-order reaction because it involves two reactants.
Let's have a look at a reaction.
\[\ce{CH3Br + OH -> CH3OH + Br}\]
So, the rate law for the reaction is
Rate = \[\ce{k[OH][CH3Br]}\]
Rate = \[\ce{k[OH][CH3Br] = k(constant) [CH3Br] = K' [CH3Br]}\]
Only the concentration of \[\ce{CH3Br}\] will change during the reaction and the rate will be determined by the reaction's modifications.

Why can’t molecularity of any reaction be equal to zero?
Why molecularity is applicable only for elementary reactions and order is applicable for elementary as well as complex reactions?
Assertion: Order of the reaction can be zero or fractional.
Reason: We cannot determine order from balanced chemical equation.
Assertion: The enthalpy of reaction remains constant in the presence of a catalyst.
Reason: A catalyst participating in the reaction, forms different activated complex and lowers down the activation energy but the difference in energy of reactant and product remains the same.
In the presence of a catalyst, the heat evolved or absorbed during the reaction.
