Second Order Reaction
Second order reaction is defined as a reaction in which the rate depends on the concentration terms of two reactants each raised to the power one.
Consider the following reaction
A+B ➡️ Products
The rate equation can be written as
dA dB = k² [A]t [B]t
dt dt
where [4) and [B] are the concentration of A and B, respectively, and k2 is the specific rate constant for second order. In other words, the rate of reaction is first order with respect to A, and again first order with respect to B. So the overall order of this reaction is second order.
Proof of a second order reaction can be verified by plotting log concentration of A vs. time. A straight line indicates that it is a first order with respect to A. Similarly, we can establish a linear relationship by plotting an appropriate graph with respect to B. This is the proof for a second order reaction.
