Connect each of these circumstances to the rate of reaction. Explain how the change in circumstances could be implemented in a lab and describe the predicted outcome. Increased temperature - Decreased solution concentration - Increased surface area - Speeding up the reaction without being involved in the reaction - Analyze Le Chatelier’s Principle. Based on this theory, what is the overriding guide to predicting outcomes when changes are imposed upon a reaction. What is the impact on the equilibrium?
