Inert Gas Effect on Equilibrium
< Prev
Next >

Which statement best describes the effect of adding an inert gas to a gaseous equilibrium system at constant volume?

A

Adding an inert gas at constant volume decreases the partial pressures of the reactants, thereby shifting the equilibrium to the right.

B

Adding an inert gas at constant volume does not change the partial pressures of the reacting gases, so the equilibrium position remains unchanged.

C

Adding an inert gas at constant volume increases the total pressure and shifts the equilibrium to the side with fewer moles of gas.

D

Adding an inert gas at constant volume dramatically alters the kinetic energy of the molecules, forcing a shift to the left.
