Value of equilibrium constant is not dependent on concentration of any species.

Q. Statement 1: For PCl5​(g)⇌PCl3​(g)+Cl2​(g) If more Cl2​ is added the equilibrium will shift in backward direction hence equilibrium constant will decrease Statement 2: Addition of inert gas to the equilibrium mixture at constant volume does not alter the equilibrium.

If both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are true and the statement 2 is the correct explanation o f the statement 1 .

Ifboth Statement 1 and Statement 2 are true but statement 2 is not the correct explanation o f the statement 1 .

If Statement 1 is true but Statement 2 is false.

If Statement 1 is false but Statement 2 is true.

Value of equilibrium constant is not dependent on concentration of any species.

Q. Statement 1: For $PC l_{5} (g) ⇌ PC l_{3} (g) + C l_{2} (g)$ If more $C l_{2}$ is added the equilibrium will shift in backward direction hence equilibrium constant will decrease
Statement 2: Addition of inert gas to the equilibrium mixture at constant volume does not alter the equilibrium.
