Define second order reaction? Give one example and units of K.

The reaction in which sum of powers to which concentration terms are raised is equal to 2 in rate law e.g.,

{CH}_{3} {COOC}_{2} H_{5} + NaOH \to {CH}_{3} COONa + C_{2} H_{5} OH

\frac{dx}{dt} = k [{CH}_{3} {COOC}_{2} H_{5}]^{1} [NaOH]

Units of k are L {mol}^{- 1} s^{- 1}
