    The correct answer for the question that is being presented above is this one: "CO (g) + 2H2 (g) CH3OH (g) and that the reaction is exothermic (the delta H value is negative). The reaction is exothermic, so lowering the temperature will shift the equilibrium toward the right. Since the reaction uses 3 moles of gas to form 1 mole of gas, increasing the pressure will shift the reaction toward the right. So, low temperature and high pressure will produce the highest yield. Le Chatelier's principle states that when a system at equilibrium is disturbed, the system responds in such a way to minimize the disturbance."
