Question

Introduction of inert gas at constant volume to a gaseous reaction at equilibrium, results in formation of :

• A. same amount of product
• B. more quantity of product
• C. less quantity of product
• D. no product

Answer 1

The correct option is A same amount of product

When an inert gas is added to the equilibrium gaseous mixture at constant volume, the total number of moles of the reaction mixture are unaffected. Hence, there is no impact on the value of the equilibrium constant. Hence, the concentration of products is not affected.
