Re: Increasing T
When it comes to T, we can utilize Le Chatelier's principle to determine how the equilibrium constant, K (product/reactant), is affected For exothermic reactions: A + B <--> C + D + heat - increasing heat = "increase in products" = favor increase in reactant & decrease in product = K ...

Re: Final questions
I think its the same format as midterms, its multiple choice but its 90 minutes long. Its a lot longer so it will probably be like 20-30 questions instead of 15.
