Inversion of cane sugar is an example of ______________________?
Correct answer: C. Bimolecular reaction with first order
- A. Unimolecular reaction with first order
- B. Bimolecular reaction with second order
- C. Bimolecular reaction with first order
- D. Unimolecular reaction with second order
Explanation
Inversion involves sucrose reacting with water, so its molecularity is bimolecular. Since water is usually in large excess, the observed rate follows first-order pseudo-kinetics with respect to sucrose.
