===Effect of change in pressure===
The equilibrium concentrations of the products and reactants do not directly depend on the [[Total pressure (fluids)|total pressure]] of the system. They may depend on the [[partial pressure]] of the products and reactants, but if the number of moles of gaseous reactants is equal to the number of moles of gaseous products, pressure has no effect on equilibrium.

Changing total pressure by adding an inert gas at constant volume does not affect the equilibrium concentrations (see {{slink||Effect of adding an inert gas}}).

Changing total pressure by changing the volume of the system changes the partial pressures of the products and reactants and can affect the equilibrium concentrations (see {{slink||Effect of change in volume}} below).
