The position of equilibrium will shift in the given direction by the addition of inert gas at consta — Chemical Equilibrium Chemistry Question
Question
The position of equilibrium will shift in the given direction by the addition of inert gas at constant pressure in the following case(s):
Answer: B,C
💡 Solution & Explanation
Adding an inert gas at constant pressure increases the volume of the container, shifting the equilibrium toward the side with more gaseous moles. (a) Δn = 2-4 = -2, shifts backward (false). (b) Δn = 2-1 = 1, shifts forward (true). (c) Δn = 1-3 = -2, shifts backward (true). (d) Δn = 2-1 = 1, shifts forward (false). Therefore, correct answer is B,C.
