A rate constant of a reaction is 3 x 10–4 L mol–1 min–1. What is the order of the reaction?

The unit of second order rate constant is L mol–1 s–1, therefore 3 x 10–4 L mol–1 min–1 represents a second order reaction.

Give an example of a pseudo first order reaction.

A pseudo first order reaction is a reaction that is truly second order but can be approximated to be first order under special circumstances. 

CH3COOC2H5+H2O   CH3COOH + C2H5OH.
Rate = kCH3COOC2H51 H2O0.
