Which of the following statements is true for a second-order reaction?

A. The rate is proportional to the square of the concentration of one reactant
B. The rate depends only on temperature
C. The rate is independent of the concentration of reactants
D. The rate is proportional to the catalyst used

Answer: The rate is proportional to the square of the concentration of one reactant


Additional Information: For second-order reactions, the rate is proportional to the square of the concentration of a single reactant or to the product of two reactant concentrations.
