Question

Addition of an inert gas at constant volume to the equilibrium mixture does not affect the position of equilibrium.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Addition of an inert gas at constant volume to the equilibrium mixture does not affect the position. When an inert gas is added to the equilibrium system at constant volume, then the total pressure will increase. But the concentration of reactants and products (ratio of their moles to the volume of the container) will not change. Hence, the position of the equilibrium will be unaffected.
