Acid hydrolysis of sucrose is a
Options
- Apseudo first order reaction
- Bzero order reaction
- Csecond order reaction
- Dunimolecular reaction.
Correct answer
A. pseudo first order reaction
Step-by-step solution
It is an example of pseudo unimolecular reaction where molecularity 2 but order of reaction is one. Rate =k[ Sugar ] [ H ₂ O ] In the reaction, water is present in excess and its concentration is taken to be constant, thus the reaction becomes independent of [ H ₂ O ] and is pseudo first order.
