Which outcome shifts a sealed reaction vessel's equilibrium?

A)Introducing an inert gas constantly

B)Adding a solid-phase reaction catalyst

C)Increasing reactant partial pressures directly✓

D)Maintaining constant total reactor pressure

💡 Explanation

Increasing reactant partial pressures causes equilibrium shift because Le Chatelier's principle drives the reaction toward products to relieve pressure, rather than options where no changes to reaction side molecules are caused; therefore, pressure shifts equilibrium.
