Solution

Dear Student, Pseudo first order reaction: The reaction which is bimolecular but order is one is called pseudo first order reaction. This happens when one of the reactants is in large excess. E.g., acidic hydrolysis of ester (ethyl acetate). CH3COOC2H5 + H2O ------> CH3COOH + C2H5OH. Regards
