Hello guys!
I'm having some troubles solving this question. Take this reaction as an example
A + B -> C + D
I have the second order rate constant: k = 0.1 M^(-1) s^(-1). Also have the partial pressure of B: pB = 720 torr.
How can i find the pseudo-first order rate constant for this reaction? Can someone help me please?

Here's what I tried:
Convert pB (in torr) to molar fraction of B, through Henry's Law: 722/(3.3*10^7)=0.000023.
Multiply this value by the second order rate constant: 0.000023*0.1 = 2.3*10^(-6)
Yet, i should have obtained 1.8*10^-4.
