\text{rate} = k[A][B]^2[C]

. At

25\,^{\circ}\text{C}

the initial concentrations and rate are

[A]_0 = 0.40\,\text{M}

[B]_0 = 0.20\,\text{M}

[C]_0 = 0.10\,\text{M}

\text{rate}_0 = 1.6 \times 10^{-3}\,\text{M}\,\text{s}^{-1}

. Keeping the temperature constant, the concentrations are changed to

[A] = 0.10\,\text{M}

[B] = 0.60\,\text{M}

[C] = 0.20\,\text{M}

. Calculate the new reaction rate (in

\text{M}\,\text{s}^{-1}
