Answer:
7.407 * 10^(-3) \text{ M}^(-2) \text{ s}^(-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that rate is equal to
k[A]^m [B]^n, where
k is the rate constant,
[A] and
[B] are the concentrations,
m is the order of reactant A, and
n is the order of reactant B.

Substituting the given values,


0.2=k(3^1)(3^2) \implies k=7.407 * 10^(-3) \text{ M}^(-2) \text{ s}^(-1)
