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.
