Which equilibrium shift occurs when inert gas boosts total pressure?

💡 Explanation

Adding inert gas increases pressure, but it does not change the partial pressures of reactants/ products; therefore, the equilibrium position is unchanged, rather than shifting, because changes in partial pressures drive the equilibrium via Le Chatelier's principle.
