What can be said about Q and K immediately after an increase in temperature?
a) Q > K because Q increased
b) Q > K because K decreased
c) Q < K bc Q decreased
d) Q < K bc K increased
e) Q = K bc neither changed
How will the system respond to a temperature increase?
a) shift left
b) shift right
c) no change
