What happens when an inert gas is added to i. PCl_(5)(g) hArr PCl_(3)(g) +Cl_(2)(g) ii. 2SO_(2)(g)+O_(2)(g) hArr 2SO_(3)(g) at equilibrium at : (a) constant pressure and temperature and temperature, and (b) at constant volume and temperature.

For the reaction PCl_(5)(g) hArr PCl_(3)(g)+Cl__(2)(g) The forward reaction at constant temperature is favoured by

For the reaction PCl_(5)(g) hArr PCl_(3)(g)+Cl_(2)(g) the forward reaction at constant temeprature is favoured by

For the reaction PCl_(5)(g)hArrPCl_(3)(g)+Cl_(2)(g) the forward reaction at constant temperature is favoured by

For the reaction PCl_(5)(g)hArrPCl_(3)(g)+Cl_(2)(g), the forward reaction at constant temperature favorrd by :

PCl_(5)(g)hArr PCl_(3)(g)+Cl_(2)(g) , In above reaction, at equilibrium condition mole fraction of PCl_(5) is 0.4 and mole fraction of Cl_(2) is 0.3. Then find out mole fraction of PCl_(3)

Assertion (A) : For PCl_(5)(g) hArr PCl_(3)(g)+Cl_(2)(g) , if more Cl_(2) is added the equilibrium will shift in backward direction. Hence, equilibrium constant will decrease. Reason (R) : Addition of inert gas to the equilibrium mixture at constant volume does not alter the equilibrium.
