Question

The equilibrium $SO_2CI_2 \, ( g) \rightleftharpoons SO_2 \, ( g) + CI_2 \, ( g)$ is attained at $25^\circ$C in a closed container and an inert gas, helium is introduced. Which of the following statements are correct ?

• A. Concentration of $SO_2,CI_2 \, and \, SO_2CI_2$ change
• B. More chlorine is formed
• C. Concentration of $SO_2$ is reduced
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

None of the above

Answer 2

$SO_2CI_2 \, ( g) \rightleftharpoons SO_2 \, ( g) + CI_2 \, ( g)$ . Adding inert gas at constant volume will not affect partial pressure of reactant or products, hence will not affect equilibrium amount o f either reactant or products.
