The equilibrium constant for a given reaction ________

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The equilibrium constant for a reaction depends on the temperature. According to Le Chatelier's principle, for endothermic reactions (which absorb heat), an increase in temperature shifts the equilibrium to the right, effectively increasing the equilibrium constant. For exothermic reactions (which release heat), an increase in temperature shifts the equilibrium to the left, decreasing the equilibrium constant.
