Which equilibrium shift occurs when increasing inert gas pressure within a sealed chemical reaction vessel?

💡 Explanation

Applying Le Chatelier's principle, while the total pressure increases, partial pressures of reactants and products remain constant because the *addition of inert gas* doesn't affect their concentrations; therefore, no equilibrium shift occurs rather than a shift to either reactant/product.
