Under what conditions does the equilibrium quotient change when an inert gas is added?
Options
- AThe equilibrium quotient always changes when an inert gas is added.
- BThe equilibrium quotient changes only if the added gas is a reactant or product involved in the reaction.
- CThe equilibrium quotient changes only if the added gas is at a high pressure.
- DThe equilibrium quotient changes only if the added gas is at a low temperature.
Correct answer
B. The equilibrium quotient changes only if the added gas is a reactant or product involved in the reaction.
Step-by-step solution
The equilibrium quotient changes only if the added gas is a reactant or product involved in the reaction, not when an inert gas is added.
