Under what conditions does the equilibrium quotient change when an inert gas is added?

Options

  1. AThe equilibrium quotient always changes when an inert gas is added.
  2. BThe equilibrium quotient changes only if the added gas is a reactant or product involved in the reaction.
  3. CThe equilibrium quotient changes only if the added gas is at a high pressure.
  4. 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.
