Practice mode Chemical Equilibrium

What is the effect of adding an inert gas such as argon to an equilibrium mixture of gases at constant volume?

Correct answer B. There is no change in the equilibrium position

Explanation

At constant volume, adding an inert gas raises total pressure but leaves the partial pressures and concentrations of the reacting gases unchanged, so the equilibrium position is not disturbed.
