Solution
\[\ce{ C_12 H22O11 + H2O ->[H+] C6 + \underset{Glucose}{C6H12O6} + \underset{Fructose}{C6H12O6} }\] Rate=K[C12H22O4]
Biomolecular reaction is Kinetically first order. Consider a chemical reaction between two substances when one reactanct is present in large excess.
`CH_3 COOC_2H5 +H_2O -> CH_3OOH + C_2H_5OH`
t=0 0.01mol 10mol 0 0
t 0mol 9.9mol 0.01 0.01 mol
Rate = K[CH3COOC2H5]
`Rate = K[CH_3COOC_2H_5] where K=K' [H2O]` the reaction behaves as first order reactions.
