rate = k * [A]^2 * [B]^1

Use the data from any trial to calculate k.

k = (rate)/([A]^2 * [B]^1)

E.g., for Trial 1, we have

rate = 3.0×10−3 M/s
[A] = 0.50 M
[B] = 0.010 M

Plug those numbers in and crank out the answer.

Now with the calculated value of k, calculate the initial rate for [A] = 0.50 M and [B] = 0.075 M

rate = k * [A]^2 * [B]^1

k = calculated value
[A] = 0.50 M
[B] = 0.075 M
