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.

\mathrm{A+2 B \rightarrow P }

\mathrm{Rate, R=k[B]^2[A] }

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.
