Which equilibrium shift occurs when inert gas injection raises pressure?

A)No shift in equilibrium position
B)Shift favors the lower energy side
C)Shift favors the higher energy side
D)Shift toward side with more moles

💡 Explanation

Introducing inert gas increases total pressure, but the partial pressures of reactants/products remain constant, thus the Reaction Quotient (Q) does not change relative to the Equilibrium Constant (K). Therefore, equilibrium remains unchanged, rather than shifting toward a specific side, because the concentrations were not altered.
