Which outcome results when the **equilibrium constant** varies with fixed conditions other than temperature in a reactive chemical system?

💡 Explanation

The equilibrium shifts, caused by **Le Chatelier's principle**, because a change in variables (other than temperature that changes the constant), will alter the balance. Therefore, the equilibrium position is shifted, rather than the activation energy changing without a catalyst or the rates staying constant.
