Q. Statement 1 : Effect of temperature on $K_c$ and $K_p$ depends on enthalpy change.
Statement 2 : Increase in temperature shifts the equilibrium in exothermic direction and decrease in temperature shifts the equilibrium position in endothermic direction.

Equilibrium

Solution:

According to Le-chateliers principle endothermic reaction favours increase in in temperature. However exothermic reaction favour decrease in temperature.
