Which outcome shifts a gaseous reaction's equilibrium when total pressure increases via argon addition?

💡 Explanation

Inert gas addition doesn't influence the equilibrium because the partial pressures of reactants/products stay the same. The mechanism is dilution. Therefore, total pressure shifts do not influence the equilibrium of gases; rather than affecting partial pressures, it just decreases the mole fraction.
