The equilibrium of any reversible reaction may be shifted to the left or right by changing the conditions. Will this change cause any alteration in the value of equilibrium constant?

Explanation

At a certain temperature, the equilibrium constant of a reversible reaction has a definite value. (1) if temperature remains fixed, then the equilibrium can be shifted to the left or right by changing the conditions of pressure, temperature etc. on which the equilibrium of a reversible reaction depends. consequently, the respective amount of both reactants and products will change, but the value of equilibrium constant remains unchanged since the temperature remains fixed. (2) if the equilibrium is shifted due to change in temperature, then the amounts of both reactants and products as well as the value of equilibbrium constant will change. with the increase in temperature, the value of equilibrium constant will increase for an endothermic reaction and decrease for an exothermic reaction.
