Consider the following reaction at equilibrium.What will happen if Fe 2 O 3 is added to the reaction? 4 FeS 2 (s)+ 11 O 2 (g)⇌ 2 Fe 2 O 3 (s)+ 8 SO 2 (g)

Adding a solid like Fe₂O₃ does not affect the equilibrium position or the equilibrium constant, as solids do not appear in the expression for the equilibrium constant.
