In general a second order reaction is one in which the overall order of a
reaction is equal to the sum of the exponents in the rate equation... ie.
Rate=k[A]^a[B]^b, so the order of this reaction would be a+b. A second
order reaction in this reaction would be when a+b=2
Does this help jog your memory?
