(N/A) If the volume is kept constant and an inert gas such as argon is added,which does not take part in the reaction,the equilibrium remains undisturbed.
This is because the addition of an inert gas at constant volume does not change the partial pressure or the molar concentrations of the substances involved in the reaction.
The reaction quotient $(Q_c)$ changes only if the added gas is a reactant or product involved in the reaction.
