The effect of addition of helium gas to the following reaction in equilibrium state, is:
 \(\mathrm{PCl}_{5}(\mathrm{~g}) \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{PCl}_{3}(\mathrm{~g})+\mathrm{Cl}_{2}(\mathrm{~g})\) (Jee Main 2023)
  1. the equilibrium will shift in the forward direction and more of Cl2 and PCl3 gases will be produced.
  2. the equilibrium will go backward due to suppression of dissociation of PCl5.
  3. helium will deactivate PCl5 and reaction will stop.
  4. addition of helium will not affect the equilibrium

Answer

(A) the equilibrium will shift in the forward direction and more of Cl 2 and PCl 3 gases will be produced.
