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.
