Rate of reaction, . If B is taken in large excess, then the order of reaction is:
Pseudo second order
Pseudo first order
First order
Second order
Pseudo order reaction:
A reaction whose order is different from the actual due to excess concentration of one of the reactants is called pseudo-order reaction.
When B is taken in excess, then the reaction will be independent of [B] and is dependent on [A].
Here, the reactions are third order but behave as first order reactions. This reaction is called pseudo first order reaction.
