Can an increase in temperature for an endothermic reaction ever favour reactants?
increasing temperature will increase the speed of the reaction. If you want to know if the it favors the reaction check Gibbs energy

Why is 1 ppm considered equal to 1 mg/dm3?
Replying to your comment on this post- so do we use 1) formula or 2) formula to calculate ppm. another answer suggested, since practical use of ppm is to express the concentration of a smaller solute, 1) formula is used. I want to confirm if that formula is also correct theoretically, or if the 2) formula is the correct formula.

Also, I would like to ask, is the proof I wrote correct? Do we really need to bring water in to this proof? or as you mentioned in your comment, "The question should rather be When is 1 ppm considered equal to 1 mg/dm3?", this only applies to special instances like aqueous solutions. Could you give me some examples when 1 ppm isn't considered equal to 1 mg/dm3?

this answer cleared most of my confusion about when we use w/v or w/w. only confusion I have now is, does 1 ppm mean (1) $\frac{m_A \times 10^6}{m_B}$ or (2) $\frac{m_A \times 10^6}{m_A + m_B}$ ? I have this confusion because we can't calculate the second ratio from the formula since they are weight and a volume.

Is there a standard system of definitions (like for SI system) for these units, set by scientists. If there is I would greatly appreciate if you could provide me a link to it. Thank you

@Mithoron I apologize. I used bold as a way of emphasizing on certain phrases. English is not my mother tongue so If I was unclear anywhere I can clarify and fix the error.
