Question

What will happen to the equilibrium constant (K) when there is a temperature change?

It does not change
There will be a different value with any temperature change

Answer 1

Any ideas?

If we have an exothermic reaction, you can think of heat as a product (because heat is being released)
So if we were to increase the temperature (basically adding heat), we would be shifting the equilibrium to the left towards the reactants

And vice versa for endothermic reactions

Answer 2

So knowing that the equilibrium changes by temperature changes, what would happen to the equilibrium constant?

Answer 3

Ehhhhhh i think it is There will be a different value with any temperature change

Answer 4

That is correct

Answer 5

There are some equations out there (that you might not have covered yet)

\( K_p = K_c(\text{RT})^{\Delta n}\)

but yes temperature does affect the equilibrium constant

Answer 6

Ohhh yeah i have not covered that yet but thanks for the great explanations
