In a second -order reaction. the rate is directly proportional to the square of the reactant concentration. When the concentration is doubled, the rate increase by a factor of four.

\mathrm{R=k(A)^{2}}

\mathrm{A \rightarrow 2 A}
\mathrm{R^{\prime}=k[2A]^{2}=4 k[A]^{2}=4 R}
\mathrm{R^{\prime}=4 R}
