[Sophia Dinh 1D]

How can you tell something is 2nd order?

When two first-order reactants affect the rate constant or when one second-order reactant

[Helen Struble 2F]

If you are given a plot of 1/[A] by time, and the curve is linear, then you know that the reaction is second order with respect to that reactant. The slope is equal to the rate constant.

[Owen-Koetters-4I]

It is second order if two first order reactants affect the rate constant

[Adam Kramer 1A]

If the graph of 1/[A] vs time is linear, or if the exponents of the rate law add up to two, then the reaction is second order.

[Aiden Metzner 2C]

If you look at the units and liters and seconds are in the denominator then it is second order.

[Ayushi2011]

When the rate is affected by the concentration of two first-order reactants, it is a second order reaction.
