Inert gas has been added to the following equilibrium system at constant volume
`SO_(2)(g)+1/2 O_(2)(g) hArr SO_(3)(g)`
To which direction will the equilibrium shift?

A

Forward

B

Backward

C

No effect

D

Unpredictable

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Inert gas at constant volume increases total pressure but the partial pressures of individual components will be unaltered. Hence, `K_(p)` will remain same.
