What happens if the temperature of a system at equilibrium is increased?

Increasing the temperature decreases the value of the equilibrium constant. ... If you increase the temperature, the position of equilibrium will move in such a way as to reduce the temperature again. It will do that by favouring the reaction which absorbs heat.

There are multiple answers:

1. The relative amount of products at equilibrium increases for an endothermic reaction
2. The relative amount of products at equilibrium decreases for an exothermic reaction
(Extra) If the temperature of a system at equilibrium is decreased

1. The relative amount of products at equilibrium decreases for an endothermic reaction
2. The relative amount of products at equilibrium increases for an exothermic reaction

Hope this helps!
