Correct answer: D. increase by a factor of nine.

The rate law is : rate = (k[A]^2 [B ] )...(1) The rate of the reaction when the concentration of A is Trippled and B is kept constant: r 1 = k 3 A 2 B r 1 = 9 k A 2 B .....(2) From equation first and second: r 1 = &#160; 9 r Thus, the rate is increased by a factor of 9.
