Question

What would happen to reversible dissociation reaction at equilibrium when an inert gas is added while the pressure remains unchanged? (A) More of the reactants will be formed. (B) More of the products will be formed. (C) Less of the products will be formed. (D) It remains unaffected.

Addition of inert gas at constant pressure shifts the equilibrium towards larger number of moles and dissociation always produces larger number of moles of product.
