Detailed Solution

The reaction for inversion of sucrose is

C12H22O11+H2OexcessC6H12O6Glucose+C6H12O6Fructose

Number of reacting molecules are 2. Hence, the molecularity is 2.

Here, water is taken in the excess amount then the rate of reaction depends on susucrose only but not on water.

Therefore, the order of reaction is 1(first order). 

This type of reaction is called as pseudo unimolecular or pseudo first order reaction.
