If the initial rate of  a reaction is 16 times greater as the concentration of one of the reactants is quadrupled, then the reaction is second order.

Second order reaction

A second order reaction is one in which the rate law can be written as Rate = k[A]^2 where;

  • k = rate constant
  • [A] = concentration of the reactant

Hence, when [A] is  quadrupled, we will notice that the rate of reaction is increased by sixteen fold because; Rate = k[4A]^2 = 16.
