K changing with temperature
Could someone please explain why Kp changes when temperature is changed but not when the pressure is changed. Thanks
Re: K changing with temperature [ENDORSED]
Equilibrium constants change from temperature. Other changes, like changing concentration, will shift a reaction out of equilibrium, but the reaction will eventually return to equilibrium with the same K. Only temperature permanently alters a K. Changing pressure does not affect K, but changing concentration can shift a reaction.

Re: K changing with temperature
Lavelle told us in class that pressure doesn't affect K. K is only changed when the temperature changes
