How Temperature Affects Equilibrium Constants in Endothermic Systems
Quick fact
For an endothermic reaction, increasing temperature can increase the equilibrium constant by orders of magnitude—sometimes enough to turn a nearly 'no reaction' situation into a productive one.
Why this is interesting
Imagine a tug-of-war between two teams. If you suddenly give one team extra strength, the rope moves. But what if you add heat to a chemical reaction? Which team wins?
