A. The rate remains the same
B. The rate doubles
C. The rate quadruples
D. The rate halves
Answer: The rate quadruples
In a second-order reaction, if the concentration of the reactant is doubled, how is the rate affected?
Additional Information: For a second-order reaction, the rate is proportional to the square of the concentration, so doubling the concentration quadruples the rate.
