Re: pseudo rate laws
See Topic 7B in the 7th edition of the textbook. You would use it when rate laws depend on the concentration of more that one species. Take for example,
Since the persulfate concentration will is nearly the same at the end of the reaction as it was at the beginning of the reaction. You would treat the persulfate concentration as another constant. You now have

Re: pseudo rate laws
A psuedo rate law is when a higher rate law is adjusted to essentially form a lower order rate law. This is done in order to see how a single reactant affects the rate and is done by increasing the concentration of one of the reactants so much that any change in it has no effect on the rate.

Re: pseudo rate laws
The overall order of the pseudo-reaction is dependent on the order of the species with the highest concentration.
