NEETChemistryChemical Equilibrium
What characteristic of an inert gas makes it not affect the equilibrium?
Options
- AInert gases are highly reactive.
- BInert gases change the partial pressures of the reactants and products.
- CInert gases do not change the partial pressures or molar concentrations of the reacting substances.
- DInert gases increase the temperature of the reaction.
Correct answer
C. Inert gases do not change the partial pressures or molar concentrations of the reacting substances.
Step-by-step solution
Inert gases do not affect the equilibrium because they do not change the partial pressures or molar concentrations of the substances involved in the reaction.
