Initial rate of reaction

I have a prelab for chemical kinetics method of initial rates.

The only information given is a table of 4 reaction mixtures’ volumes and the molarity of the reactants as a column

It is asking for the initial rate of reaction and I am having trouble calculating this with the information given. Can someone break down the general steps for finding the initial concentrations of reactants after mixing AND how to calculate the initial rate of the reaction.

Are you given the rate equation?

If not, are you meant to be able to find the rate equation, i.e. as a research task?
