Q. In presence of $HCl,$ sucrose gets hydrolysed into glucose and fructose. The concentration of sucrose was found to reduce form $0.4\, M$ to $0.2 M$ in $1$ hour and $0.1 \,M$ in $2$ hours. The order of the reaction is

Chemical Kinetics

Solution:

$t_{1/2}\propto\frac{1}{\left(C_{0}\right)^{n-1}}\therefore $ reaction is of first order.
