If the reaction rate quadruples when the concentration of any word is it double? It means that it is the second order reaction. Why?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

For second order reactions, when the concentration doubles the reaction rate quadruples.

The rate is proportional to the square of the concentration of the reactant.

Rate = k[A]²
