Why does the addition of an inert gas to an equilibrium mixture of gases not dis

Question

Why does the addition of an inert gas to an equilibrium mixture of gases not disturb the equilibrium? because addition of the inert gas prevents the reaction from occurring in the same fashion as previously
b.because the pressure is increasing on both sides of the reaction equally the equilibrium does not shift
because the partial pressures and/or concentrations of ideal gases do not change in response to the presence of other gases
because an inert gas is unreactive and thus won't affect the equilibrium Why does the addition of an inert gas to an equilibrium mixture of gases not disturb the equilibrium? because addition of the inert gas prevents the reaction from occurring in the same fashion as previously

Explanation / Answer

c )because the partial pressures and/or concentrations of ideal gases do not change in response to the presence of other gases

since equlibrium will sift only when we change partial pressure or concentration participating in the reaction.
