Which of the following is a characteristic of a second-order reaction?

A. The rate depends on the concentration of one reactant
B. The half-life is independent of concentration
C. The rate depends on the square of one reactant's concentration or on two different reactants
D. The rate is directly proportional to time

Answer: The rate depends on the square of one reactant's concentration or on two different reactants


Additional Information: Second-order reactions may depend on the concentration of one reactant squared or on the concentrations of two different reactants.
