MolSynapse / Question bank / Chemical Equilibrium / Le Chatelier's principle: effect of concentration, pressure, temperature, inert gas

NEET levelSingle correct optionDifficulty 1 of 3ce176

At constant temperature and pressure, an inert gas is added to $H X_{2} (g) + I X_{2} (g) 2 HI (g)$ at equilibrium. The position of equilibrium

Ashifts forward and $K_{p}$ increases
Bshifts forward
Cdoes not change
Dshifts backward

Answer: C

Volume rises, but

Δ n = 0

, so the mole ratio of concentrations in

K

is unaffected by dilution.

Q

remains equal to

K

and there is no shift.
