← ScienceIn a Haber-Bosch reactor held at fixed volume containing partially converted gases, which outcome occurs when inert argon is further injected?
A)Equilibrium shifts toward reactant formation
B)Equilibrium position remains unchanged✓
C)Reaction rate shows considerable rise
D)Partial pressures drive completion immediately
💡 Explanation
The equilibrium position remains unchanged because the addition of argon increases the system pressure but does affect the partial pressures; therefore, the equilibrium isn't disturbed rather than favouring one side. The underlying mechanism is Le Chatelier's principle.
