Detailed Solution

When in any chemical reaction, one of the reactant is present in large excess, then the second-order reaction becomes first-order reaction and is known as pseudo unimolecular reaction e.g., 

CH3COOCH3+H2OH+CH3COOH+CH3OH

in this reaction molecularity is 2 but order of reaction is found to be first order experimentally, so it is an example of pseudo unimoelcular reaction.
