Q. Which of the following is not the example of pseudo unimolecular reaction?
A) $CH_{3}COOC_{2}H_{5} + H_{2}O\overset{H^{+}}{\rightarrow}CH_{3}COOH + C_{2}H_{5}OH$
B) $C_{12}H_{22}O_{11} + H_{2}O\overset{H^{+}}{\rightarrow}C_{6}H_{12}O_{6} + C_{6}H_{12}O_{6}$
Glucose fructose
C) $CH_{3}COCl + H_{2}O \rightarrow CH_{3}COOH + HCl$
D) $CH_{3}COOC_{2}H_{5} + H_{2}O\overset{{OH}^{-}}{\rightarrow}CH_{3}COOH + C_{2}H_{5}OH$
Explanation
(d)
Pseudo first order reactions are those reactions which are not truly first order but show first order kinetics under specific conditions. For examples, acidic hydrolysis of an ester and hydrolysis of cane sugar.
