Question

Assertion :For PCl5(g)PCl3(g)+Cl2(g), if more Cl2 is added the equilibrium will shift in backward direction. Hence, equilibrium constant will decrease. Reason: Addition of inert gas to the equilibrium mixture at constant volume does not alter the equilibrium.

Solution

The correct option is D Assertion is incorrect but Reason is correct
For PCl5(g)PCl3(g)+Cl2(g), if more Cl2 is added the equilibrium will shift in backward direction. But the value of the equilibrium constant will remain same.
Addition of inert gas to the equilibrium mixture at constant volume does not alter the equilibrium.
Thus Assertion is incorrect but Reason is correct.
