What happens to the equilibrium when an inert gas like argon is added at constant volume to a reaction?
Options
- AThe equilibrium shifts in the forward direction.
- BThe equilibrium remains undisturbed.
- CThe equilibrium becomes unstable.
- DThe equilibrium shifts in the reverse direction.
Correct answer
B. The equilibrium remains undisturbed.
Step-by-step solution
When an inert gas is added at constant volume, the equilibrium remains undisturbed because it does not change the partial pressures or molar concentrations of the reacting substances.
