Solution

The statement that is not true for a pseudo first-order reaction is:

b) Molecularity of the reaction should be one

Explanation: Pseudo first-order reactions are reactions that are technically of order two or higher, but one of the reactants is in such large excess that its concentration does not change appreciably during the reaction and it can be treated as a constant, effectively reducing the reaction to first order. Therefore, the molecularity of the reaction, which refers to the number of molecules participating in a basic reaction step, does not necessarily have to be one.
