Equilibrium shiftHardQuestion 600429

Question

For the equilibrium N₂O₄(g) ⇌ 2NO₂(g), adding an inert gas at constant volume will:
  1. A
    Shift equilibrium to the right
  2. B
    Shift equilibrium to the left
  3. C
    Have no effect
    Correct
  4. D
    Double NO₂ concentration

Correct answer

Have no effect

Explanation

Adding inert gas at constant volume does not change the partial pressures of N₂O₄ or NO₂ (concentrations unchanged). No effect on equilibrium position.
