reversible reaction no longer in equilibrium

can someone check this:
the forwards example is exothermic
if you increase the temperature then there will be a decrease in the amount of product being formed and the reversible reaction is no longer in equilibrium. In order to get the reversible reaction in a state of equilibrium the equilibrium shifts towards the endothermic reaction so that the temperature decreases and more of the reactant is formed

Looks correct to me :tongue:

According to Le Chatelier's Principle the position of equilibrium will always move to undo the change made. Since you've increased the temperature, the reaction absorbing heat will be favoured.
