What effect will increasing temperature have on the K for a reaction if the enthalpy of the reaction is positive? What about the K when the enthalpy is negative, with the temperature increase? I want to know if the K will increase, decrease, or stay the same in these situations. K is the equilibrium constant, by the way.

when you increase the temp
in endothermic +ve the reation moves in forward direction
in exothermic -ve the  reation moves in backward direction
acc. to your ques. equilibrium constant (K) never change only equlibrium shifts
