The effect of addition of helium gas to the following reaction in equilibrium state at constant volume, is :
Options
- Athe equilibrium will shift in the forward direction and more of and gases will be produced.
- Bthe equilibrium will go backward due to suppression of dissociation of .
- Chelium will deactivate and reaction will stop.
- Daddition of helium will not affect the equilibrium.
Correct answer
D. addition of helium will not affect the equilibrium.
Step-by-step solution
In the above reaction vessel, when helium(an inert gas) is added following cases can happen for isobaric and isochoric processes respectively:
Case 1 : At constant P - volume will increase so reaction will shift in forward direction then answer will be A
Case 2 : At constant volume no change in active mass so reaction will not shift in any direction then answer will be D.
Thus, at constant volume, addition of helium will not have any impact on the equilibrium.
