Consider the rate law. cap r is equal to k times open bracket NO sub 2 close bracket squared What happens to the rate if the concentration is tripled?

The rate law is r = k[NO₂]², so the rate depends on the square of the NO₂ concentration. Tripling the concentration multiplies the rate by 3² = 9. Therefore, the rate increases by a factor of 9.
