In the reaction, H2 + $${I_2}$$ ⇋ 2H$$I$$, addition of an inert gas will
A. Increase the partial pressure of H2
B. Increase the partial pressure of $${I_2}$$
C. Increase the total pressure and hence shift the equilibrium towards the right
D. Not effect the equilibrium conditions
Answer: Option D
This Question Belongs to Chemical Engineering >> Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics
when we add an inert gas there will increase the total pressure of the system but will have no effect on the equilibrium condition.
