Chemical and Ionic Equilibrium - Result Question 33
####33. The equilibrium $SO _2 Cl _2(g) \rightleftharpoons SO _2(g)+Cl _2(g)$ is attained at $25^{\circ} C$ in a closed container and an inert gas, helium is introduced. Which of the following statements are correct?
$(1989,1 M)$
(a) Concentration of $SO _2, Cl _2$ and $SO _2 Cl _2$ change
(b) More chlorine is formed
(c) Concentration of $SO _2$ is reduced
(d) None of the above
Show Answer
Solution:
- $SO _2 Cl _2(g) \rightleftharpoons SO _2(g)+Cl _2(g)$,
Adding inert gas at constant volume will not affect partial pressure of reactant or products, hence will not affect equilibrium amount of either reactant or products.
