A researcher observes that doubling the initial concentration of a reactant X causes the initial reaction rate to quadruple.
What is the order of the reaction with respect to X, and how will the rate constant k be affected if the temperature is increased?
- Second order; k will increase
- Second order; k will remain constant
- Zero order; k will decrease
- First order; k will increase
