### Determining the Rate Constant of a Reaction

**Objective**: Using the data in the table, determine the rate constant \( k \) of the reaction and select the appropriate units.

**Reaction**: 
\[ A + 2B \rightarrow C + D \]

### Data Table

| Trial | \([A]\) (M) | \([B]\) (M) | Rate (M/s) |
|-------|-------------|-------------|------------|
| 1     | 0.210       | 0.360       | 0.0175     |
| 2     | 0.210       | 0.720       | 0.0175     |
| 3     | 0.420       | 0.360       | 0.0700     |

### Rate Constant Calculation

**Incorrect Value Entered**: 
\[ k = 0.183 \]

**Correct Units**: 
\[ \text{Units} = M^{-1}s^{-1} \]

### Explanation

- **Trial Analysis**:

  - **Trial 1 and 2**: Comparing the data, \([A]\) remains constant while \([B]\) is doubled, but the rate does not change. This indicates that the reaction rate is independent of the concentration of B. 
  - **Trial 1 and 3**: Here, \([A]\) is doubled while \([B]\) remains constant, and the rate increases by a factor of 4. This suggests that the reaction order with respect to A is 2.

- **Rate Law Expression**: 
  \[ \text{Rate} = k[A]^2[B]^0 \]
  Simplifies to:
  \[ \text{Rate} = k[A]^2 \]

- **Determining \( k \) Using Trial 1**:
  \[ 0.0175 \, M/s = k (0.210 \, M)^2 \]
  \[ k = \frac{0.0175}{(0.210)^2} \]
  \[ k = 0.397 \, M^{-1}s^{-1} \]

#### Conclusion:

\[ k = 0.397 \, M^{-1}s^{-1} \]

The previously entered value \( k = 0.183 \) was incorrect. Based on the data and correct analysis,
