Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The rate of reaction doubles when the concentration of either reactant (alanylanine or water) is doubled, indicating first-order dependence on each reactant. When both reactants' concentrations are doubled, the rate quadruples, confirming second-order overall (first order in each reactant).
