Which outcome results when increasing temperature increases entropy, thus affecting equilibrium constant values?

A)Shift favors endothermic reaction direction
B)Reaction velocities approach similar magnitudes
C)The activation energy barrier increases
D)Catalyst efficacy rapidly degrades overall

💡 Explanation

The equilibrium shifts to favor the direction that absorbs heat (endothermic) because the increased entropy at higher temperatures makes that direction more favorable due to enthalpy changes; therefore the forward or reverse reaction favored affects the constant, rather than velocities becoming equal.
