pseudo rate constant

https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.P04933
A term sometimes used for a
rate coefficient
. For example, if the rate equation is: v=k [A] [B] the function k [A] is the pseudo first-order
rate constant
(or first-order
rate coefficient
) with respect to B. Similarly, k [B] is the pseudo first-order
rate constant
(or first-order
rate coefficient
) with respect to A. The term pseudo
rate constant
is particularly useful when the concentration of one reactant is much greater than that of another.
