At pH = 5, as half-life period is found to be independent of initial concentration of sucrose, this means with respect to sucrose, it is a reaction of first order, i.e., Rate = k [Sucrose].
If n is the order with respect to H+ion, t1/2 ∝ [H+]I-n,
i.e., 500 ∝ (10-5)I-n [PH = 5 means [H+] = 10-5 M] .......(I)
and 50 ∝ (l0-6)I-n [pH = 6 means [H+] = 10-6 M] .......(ii)
Dividing (i) by (ii), 10 = (lo)l-n i.e. 1 - n = 1 or n = 0, i.e., order with respect to H+ion = O.Hence, overall rate law is Rate = k [Sucrose] [H+]o.
