A reaction is found to obey the rate law

rate = k[A]^2

Which elementary reaction stoichiometry is most consistent with this rate law? (a)

A + B \rightarrow \text{products}

(b)

A + A \rightarrow \text{products}

(c)

2A + B \rightarrow \text{products}

(d)

A + A + B \rightarrow \text{products}
