A researcher investigates the decomposition of a experimental chemotherapy agent, Drug X. Doubling the initial concentration of Drug X results in a fourfold increase in the initial reaction rate.
If the rate constant is k = 2.0 × 10^-2 M^-1s^-1, what is the overall order of this reaction?
- First order
- Zero order
- Third order
- Second order
