An inert gas does not alter the state of chemical equilibrium when added at constant volume. Discuss.

Catalyiss does not alter state of chemical equilibrium.

Assertion (A) : Addition of an inert gas to the equilibrium mixture has no effect on the state of equilibrium at constant volume or at constant pressure. Reason (R ) : The addition of inert gas at constant volume will not alter the concentrations of the reactants as well as products of a reaction mixture.

(a) Discuss the effect of addition of inert gas on the equilibrium point when added at constant volume and at constant pressure ? (b) By making use of Le Chatelier's principle , predict the influence of : (i) temperature and pressure on the vaporisation of water. (ii) temperature and pressure on the melting of ice .

What will happen to the equilibrium state if an inert gas is added at constant volume ?

Assertion : The additions of an inert gas at constant volume to a system at equilibrium does not affect the state of equilibrium Reason: The inert gas does not react with any of the reactants or products.

Consider the equilibrium, PCl_(5(g)) harr PCl_(3(g)) + Cl_(2(g)) What happens to the above equillibrium when an inert gas is added at constant pressure? Justify.
