Detailed Solution

PCl5(g)Mole At. eq. (ax)PCl3(g) x+Cl2(g) x
Now, Kc=x2V(ax)
Addition of inert gas at constant V has no effect on reactions having Δn=0 or Δn0. But addition of inert gas at constant P has effect on reactions having Δn0 and no effect, if Δn=0. The given reaction has Δn0 and thus, only choice (c) is correct. Also, the effect may be drawn as: On addition of inert gas at constant P, volume increases. To have Kc constant, X must increase.
