State
Raising temperature changes K itself, rising for an endothermic reaction, falling for an exothermic one; treating heat as a reactant or product predicts the shift's direction.
Show
Heating an exothermic reaction, which releases heat as if it were a product, shifts the equilibrium back toward reactants.
Watch for
Temperature changes K's value; concentration and volume changes only move Q.
