Question
What is pseudo first order reaction? Give one· example of it.
Advertisements
Solution
A reaction which has higher order true rate law but experimentally found to behave as first order are called pseudo first order reaction.
e.g. `C_12H_22O_(11(aq))+H_2OrarrC_6H_12O_6+C_6H_12O_6`
Sucrose Glucose fractose
is an example of pseudo first order reaction, because water takes part in the reaction the true rate law
rate = k'[C12H22O11][H2O]
indicates that the reaction must be second order. Similarly to the hydrolysis of ester,[H2O] is constant and
the rate law became
rate=k[C12H22O11]
Thus, the second order true law is converted, to first order rate law.

Why can’t molecularity of any reaction be equal to zero?
Assertion: Order of the reaction can be zero or fractional.
Reason: We cannot determine order from balanced chemical equation.
Assertion: Order and molecularity are same.
Reason: Order is determined experimentally and molecularity is the sum of the stoichiometric coefficient of rate determining elementary step.
Assertion: Rate constants determined from Arrhenius equation are fairly accurate for simple as well as complex molecules.
Reason: Reactant molecules undergo chemical change irrespective of their orientation during collision.

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. |
