Changes is temperature will change the equilibrium constant.
An increase in temperature, increases the equilibrium constant shifting the equilbirium → of any endothermic reaction.
Note!
This is a solution made using alcohol (alc). The concentration of the water in the alcohol solution can change and as a result, water would be part of the equilibrium expression.
Adding water would would increase [H2O] in the (alc) causing a Le Châtelier shift ← to form more reactants.
