Before to show you that what you said is false (I'm sorry ^^) be sure you understand the constant of a reaction depends on the temperature.


Let the same reaction you want $$\mathrm{A \rightleftharpoons B}$$

With a constant $\mathrm{K^{\circ}}$. Imagine you heat a little your system a little with $\mathrm{d}T>0$, then by Van't Hoff's law we get,:

$$\frac{\mathrm{d}\ln(K^{\circ})}{\mathrm{d}T}=\frac{\Delta_rH^{\circ}}{RT^2}$$ Where $R$ is the perfect gas constant which is positive. Then $RT^2>0$. So $\mathrm{d}\ln(K^{\circ})$ as the same sign as $\Delta_rH^{\circ}\cdot \mathrm{d}T$.

So if you have an endothermic reaction $\Delta_rH^{\circ}>0$ because $\mathrm{d}T>0$ then, $$\mathrm{d}\ln(K^{\circ})>0$$

Then $K^{\circ}$ will increase with the temperature. If you take $\mathrm{d}T<0$ for an endothermic reaction then the constant of the reaction will decrease with the temperature.

I let you do the same final reasonningreasoning for an exothermic reaction. So the "Le Châtelier principle" is still true.

Note: If you know the chemical affinity, you can do the same proof, just a bit longer  !

I hope it can help you if you want I can add the proof with affinity. Have a good day I'm going to sleep ! :-)
