The overall order of the reaction is found by adding up the individual orders. For example, if the reaction is first order with respect to both A and B (a = 1 and b = 1), the overall order is 2. We call this an overall second order reaction.
Q. What is the half life of a first-order reaction if time required to decrease?
Concentration is reduced to 25%. It means it takes two half-lives to decrease the concentration of reactant from 0.8 M to 0.2 M in first-order reaction. Hence, half-life of the reaction is 12/2 = 6 hours. The half life of reaction is 6 hours.

Q. What is the difference between order of reaction and Molecularity?
We define order of reaction as the number of molecules of the reactant whose concentration changes during the chemical change. Molecularity is the number of ions or molecules that take part in the rate-determining step. To determine order we should sum up the exponents from the rate law of the equation.
Q. What is pseudo first order reaction give one example?
Thus, the reaction appears to be first order, but it is actually of second order that’s why known as pseudo first order reaction. So, concentration of water can be approximated as constant as its concentration doesn’t change a lot during the reaction. thus, hydrolysis of cane sugar is pseudo first order reaction.
Q. What is the difference between pseudo first order and first order?
Difference Between Pseudo First Order Reaction and First Order Reaction. The main difference is obviously that, in a first order reaction, the order of reaction is one by nature. A pseudo first-order reaction is second order reaction by nature but has been altered to make it a first order reaction.
Q. Is pseudo rate constant positive?
All Answers (3) By definition of rate constant itself (for example think of the Arrhenius equation k =A×exp( -Ea/RT) ), it cannot be negative. no, pseudo second order reaction rate constant never negative .
Q. How do you calculate pseudo constant?
We plotted ln([absorbance]) on our y axis and time, t, on our x axis. The result is a straight line whose slope is m = – k’, and whose intercept is b = ln(absorbance)0. So the slope we measure from our plot gives us the quantity we want, the pseudo rate constant k’.
Q. What is the unit of rate constant for pseudo first order reaction?
The rate constant is a proportionality constant where the rate of reaction that is directly correlated to the concentration of the reactant. In first-order reactions, the reaction rate is directly proportional to the reactant concentration and the unit of first-order rate constants are 1/sec.
Q. What is a first order rate reaction?
first-order reaction: A reaction that depends on the concentration of only one reactant (a unimolecular reaction). Other reactants can be present, but each will be zero-order.
