In which direction will the chemical equilibrium shift in the system Fe3O4 (s) + 4H2O (g) ↔ Fe (s) + 4H2 (g), with: a) an increase in the concentration of water vapor; b) an increase in the total pressure in the system?

For some reactions, which can go in two directions, a moment comes when the speed of the forward and reverse reactions becomes equal and the product cannot be isolated. The mixing of equilibrium is influenced by changes in the concentration of substances, temperature and pressure (only if both reactants and products are gases). The balance will be mixed in the direction of the reaction, which reduces the external influence. In this system, with an increase in the concentration of water vapor, the equilibrium will shift to the right. And the increase in pressure will not affect in any way.
