No, K is the rate constant. See my post.Buzz Bloom said:I looked at the Wikipedia article
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_Chatelier's_principle
and I found no equations involving a variable "K". So, I assume that by "K value" you mean temperature.
I understood you Drclaud. And I want the same thing mentioned above that is why Equilibrium constant is a function of temperature . why it doesn't varies with changes in concentration and pressureChestermiller said:You are asking why the equilibrium constant is a function of temperature, but not pressure or concentration, correct?
I take that as a yes. Have you had a course in chemical thermodynamics yet?Karan Punjabi said:I understood you Drclaud. And I want the same thing mentioned above that is why Equilibrium constant is a function of temperature . why it doesn't varies with changes in concentration and pressure
No, I'm in FYJC so no knowledge of thermodynamicsChestermiller said:I take that as a yes. Have you had a course in chemical thermodynamics yet?
Well, when you take chemical thermodynamics, you will learn about the derivation of the equilibrium constant and why it is a function of temperature alone. The coursework leading up to this is just too lengthy to describe here.Karan Punjabi said:No, I'm in FYJC so no knowledge of thermodynamics
Ohk thanks for the help☺Chestermiller said:Well, when you take chemical thermodynamics, you will learn about the derivation of the equilibrium constant and why it is a function of temperature alone. The coursework leading up to this is just too lengthy to describe here.

Temperature can affect chemical equilibrium by shifting the balance between reactants and products. In an exothermic reaction, an increase in temperature will shift the equilibrium towards the reactants, while in an endothermic reaction, an increase in temperature will shift the equilibrium towards the products.
Yes, the equilibrium constant, also known as Keq, is affected by temperature. As the temperature increases, the value of Keq also changes, indicating a shift in the equilibrium position.
Le Chatelier's principle states that when a system at equilibrium is subjected to a change, it will respond by shifting in the direction that minimizes the effect of the change. In the case of temperature, an increase or decrease will cause the equilibrium to shift in the direction that absorbs or releases heat, respectively.
Yes, temperature can be used to manipulate the direction of a chemical reaction. By adjusting the temperature, the equilibrium can be shifted towards the desired products or reactants, allowing for control over the reaction.
The rate of a reaction at equilibrium is not affected by temperature. This is because the forward and reverse reactions are occurring at equal rates, resulting in no net change in the concentration of reactants and products. However, a change in temperature can affect the time it takes for the equilibrium to be reached.
