Helium is added to a gas-phase equilibrium at constant volume. What happens to the equilibrium?
AIt shifts to the right
BIt shifts to the left
CIt does not shift
DIt is fully destroyed
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. It does not shift
The inert gas does not change the partial pressures of the reacting gases at constant volume, so no shift occurs.
