What happens when an inert gas is added to an equilibrium keeping volume unchanged?

Options

  1. AMore product will form
  2. BLess product will form
  3. CMore reactant will form
  4. DEquilibrium will remain unchanged

Correct answer

D. Equilibrium will remain unchanged

Step-by-step solution

On adding inert gas at constant volume the total pressure of the system is increased, but the partial pressure of each reactant and product remains the same. Hence no effect on the state of equilibrium.
