To predict the change or shif t in equilibrium, we use Le Chatelier's Principle. The reaction absorbs heat or is endothermic so that heat is being supplied for it to proceed. If the temperature of the system is increased, the equilibrium would continue to the right or to producing more of the products since heat is added continuously.
