The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze the assertion and the reason provided, and determine their validity and relationship. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that the addition of an inert gas at constant volume to a system at equilibrium does not affect the state of equilibrium. - This means that when an inert gas is added, the equilibrium position remains unchanged. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason given is that the inert gas does not react with any of the reactants or products. - This implies that since the inert gas is non-reactive, it should not influence the chemical reaction or the equilibrium. 3. **Analyzing the Effect of Inert Gas**: - When an inert gas is added to a system at constant volume, the total pressure of the system increases. - However, the partial pressures of the reactants and products remain unchanged because the inert gas does not participate in the reaction. 4. **Applying Le Chatelier's Principle**: - According to Le Chatelier's Principle, if a system at equilibrium is subjected to a change (in concentration, pressure, or temperature), the system will adjust to counteract that change. - Since the partial pressures of the reactants and products do not change with the addition of an inert gas, the equilibrium position is not affected. 5. **Conclusion**: - The assertion is correct: adding an inert gas at constant volume does not affect the equilibrium state. - The reason is also correct: the inert gas does not react with the reactants or products. - However, the reason does not adequately explain why the assertion is true, as the lack of reaction is not the primary reason for the unchanged equilibrium state; rather, it is the unchanged partial pressures that are crucial. ### Final Answer: - Both the assertion and reason are correct, but the reason is not the correct explanation for the assertion.
