Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Changes in pressure, volume, and the presence or absence of a reactant or product will not affect the equilibrium constant. Only changes in temperature will shift the equilibrium and thus change the equilibrium constant. Increasing the temperature will shift the equilibrium to the right, increasing the amount of product formed, and thus changing the equilibrium constant. Therefore, the correct answer is E.
