Which outcome results when inert Argon gas increases reactor pressure?

A)Equilibrium shifts towards fewer gas molecules✓

B)Reaction rate increases for all reactants

C)Catalyst selectivity becomes more effective

D)Activation energy threshold becomes lower

💡 Explanation

The equilibrium shifts due to Le Chatelier's principle; an increase in pressure favors the side with fewer gas molecules. Therefore, fewer moles appear, rather than a generalized rate increase because the partial pressures of reactants remain unchanged.
