d) There will be no change to the equilibrium system.
are you sure?
I apologize for the previous incorrect response.
If an inert gas is added while the volume remains constant, there will be no effect on the equilibrium system. Inert gases do not participate in the equilibrium reaction and their addition does not impact the concentrations of the reactants or products. Therefore, the correct answer is:
d) There will be no change to the equilibrium system.
