← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when increasing inert gas partial pressure shifts equilibrium?
A)Equilibrium unaffected; reaction kinetics unchanged✓
B)Exothermic reaction favored; enthalpy released
C)Equilibrium shifts maintaining constant mole
D)Reversed reaction dominates; lower yields
💡 Explanation
Equilibrium remains unaffected due to Le Chatelier's principle: adding inert gas increases total pressure, but not reactant/product partial pressures. Therefore, equilibrium position stays constant, rather than shifting because the mole ratio of reactant product remains constant.
