Consider the reactions, (i) PCl5(g)⇌PCl3(g)+Cl2(g) (ii) N2O4(g)⇌2NO2(g) The addition of an inert gas at constant volume:

Solution
The correct option is D will not disturb the equilibrium of the reaction If insert gas is added at constant volume it will not disturb the equilibrium of the reaction as it will not react with any of the reactant or product species.
