Cochran · Answer 1

The equilibrium constant changes with a change in temperature.

Explanation:

Le Chatelier's principle states that if an external constrain such as a change in temperature, pressure or concentration is impossed on a chemical system in equilibrium, the equilibrium will shift so as to neutralize the effect. From the above principle, a change in temperature will result in a change in the equilibrium position as well as the equilibrium constant.
