A student studies the gas-phase equilibrium used in sulfuric acid production.

\(2\text{SO}_2\text{(g)}+\text{O}_2\text{(g)}\rightleftharpoons 2\text{SO}_3\text{(g)}\)

After the system reaches equilibrium in a rigid vessel at constant temperature, the student injects inert \(\text{Ar(g)}\). The total pressure increases, but the temperature and volume remain constant. Which statement correctly predicts and explains the effect of adding the \(\text{Ar(g)}\) on the equilibrium position?
