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.

The rate of reaction is concerned with decrease in the concentration of reactants or increase in the concentration of products per unit of time. It can be expressed as instantaneous rate at a particular instant of time and average rate over a large interval of time. A number of factors such as temperature, concentration of reactants, catalyst affect the rate of reaction. Mathematical representation of rate of a reaction is given by rate law: Rate = k[A]x [B]y x and y indicate how sensitive the rate is to change in concentration of A and B. Sum of x + y gives the overall order of a reaction. |
