Le Chatelier’s principle
Whenever a change is made to a reversible reaction in
dynamic equilibrium, the equilibrium will shift to try and
oppose the change.

Condition       Effect
Temperature     Increasing the temperature shifts the
                equilibrium in the direction that takes in heat.
