Question
Chemistry Question on Equilibrium Constant
The addition of an inert gas at constant volume to an equilibrium will favour :
A
the forward reaction
B
the reverse reaction
C
both reactions
D
neither forward nor backward reaction
Answer
neither forward nor backward reaction
Explanation
Solution
When the volume is constant on both side of reaction, then the addition of an inert gas does not affect the equilibrium. Hence, it will favour neither forward nor backward reaction.
