Which outcome occurs when increasing inert gas pressure at high temperature, where a reaction reaches equilibrium?

A)Equilibrium position remains unchanged
B)Favors side with fewer moles
C)Reaction shifts towards reactants
D)Reaction rate always increases

💡 Explanation

An inert gas does not react, causing the partial pressures of reactants/products to remain constant, hence the equilibrium position is unchanged. This is known as Le Chatelier's principle; therefore, the equilibrium position remains unchanged, rather than shifting because the partial pressures of the reaction components are not affected by its addition.
