Which outcome occurs when adding inert gas at constant volume to a closed vessel containing reactants and products at equilibrium?

💡 Explanation

The equilibrium position remains unchanged because the addition of an inert gas at constant volume does not affect the partial pressures or concentrations of the reactants and products; therefore, the equilibrium constant is not affected, rather than impacting gas phase partial pressures.
