The rate is second order with respect to the reactant and second order overall.
Rate = k[A]2

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The given statement indicates that the rate of the reaction is proportional to the square of the concentration of the reactant (second order with respect to the reactant) and the overall order of the reaction is also second order. This is represented by the rate law equation: Rate = k[A]^2, indicating that the reaction is second order overall. Therefore, the given statement is true.

The Rate Is Second Order with Respect to the Reactant
