  1. Bimolecular Reaction

    Linked via "second-order kinetics"

    $$\text{Rate} = k [\text{A}] [\text{B}]$$
    Where $k$ is the specific rate constant, having units typically expressed as $\text{L} \cdot \text{mol}^{-1} \cdot \text{s}^{-1}$ for second-order kinetics. If $\text{A} = \text{B}$, the reaction is second-order overall but still fundamentally bimolecular ($\text{A} + \text{A} \rightarrow \text{Products}$), leading to the rate expression $\text{Rate} = k [\text{A}]^2$.
