Q. Inversion of cane-sugar in dilute acid is a

J & K CETJ & K CET 2007Chemical Kinetics

Solution:

$C _{12} H _{22} O _{11}+ \underset{\text{excess}}{H _{2} O} \xrightarrow{\text { dil. acid }} \underset{\text{glucose}}{C _{6} H _{12} O _{6}}+ \underset{\text{fructose}}{C _{6} C _{12} O _{6}}$
When one of the reactant is present in large excess, the second-order reaction conforms to the first order and is known as pseudo-unimolecular reaction.
