Dear Rashmi V,
The main difference between a First Order Reaction & a Pseudo First Order reaction is that the Pseudo first order eaction is a reaction that should actually happen by some higher order(higher than 1) but occurs by first order beacuse the concentration of one reactant used is very high & another reactant used is very low ...
The concentration of the reactant which is very low can be negleted & thus the concentration of the reactant which has higher concentration is alone taken !
This makes the reaction follow a first order kinetics rather than some higher order.This is Pseudo First order reaction !
Hope you understood now..
All the Best & Good Luck !
