Which one of the following is a second order reaction ?

$CH_3COOCH_3 +NaOH \rightarrow CH_3COONa + H_2O$

${ H_2 +Cl_2 ->[{\text{sunlight}}] 2HCl}$

$NH_4NO_3 \rightarrow N_2 + 3H_2O$

$H_2 + Br_2 \rightarrow 2HBr$

Answer

$CH_3COOCH_3 +NaOH \rightarrow CH_3COONa + H_2O$

Explanation

The reaction is said to be of second order if its reaction rate is determined by the variation of two concentration terms of reactants.

${CH3COOCH3 + NaOH \to CH3COONa + H_2O }$

is an example of second order reaction.
