Kc is the equilibrium constant for a particular reaction at a particular temperature. Kc only changes with temperature. It is the ratio of concentration of products ÷ reactants. An increase in temperature shifts the position of equilibrium in the endothermic direction. A decrease in temperature shifts the position of equilibrium in the exothermic direction
