if the concentration of products is decreased, the equilibrium will shift toward the products). add an inert gas (one that is not involved in the reaction) to the constant-volume reaction mixture: this will increase the total pressure of the system, but will have no effect on the equilibrium condition.

explanation:

substituting a hydrogen atom with a halogen in a hydrocarbon:

- the single bond remains single. a is wrong.

- the bond with hydrogen is as strong as with a halogen. c is wrong

- a hydrocarbon is saturated if there is no double bond. we do not know that so d is wrong.

- carbon will always have four valence electrons. e is wrong.

by elimination, the correct answer is b. the boiling point of the new compound increases.
