amounts of reactant and its affect on rate

[CaminaB_1D]

If a reaction is second order with respect to reactant A, if the concentration of reactant A is doubled, is the rate quadrupled?

[StudentD2B]

Yes! exactly.
Zeroth order - Rate =k
First Order - Rate =k[A]
Second Oder - Rate =k[A]^2

[A De Castro 14B 2H]

Yes, because the rate of that second order reaction is proportional to the squared value of reactant A. However, remember that this applies to reactions that only have one reactant. The overall order of the reaction would be different if there were more than one reactants.

[daniella_knight1I]

Yes, that is correct.

[Aiden Atoori 1C]

Yes that is exactly what happens! Good work!

[Jack DeLeon 1B]

yes, and it all comes down the the ^2 in the rate equation of a second order reaction

[Anand Narayan 1G]

Yes, that is precisely what happens.
