Given the situation below, identify the Le Chatelier's Principle on the effect of changes in a system at equilibrium as change in pressure, temperature, composition, or catalyst. Methanol is an important alcohol used in fuel mixtures making methyl esters and oxidation to methanol (formaldehyde) to make urea – formaldehyde resign glues. It is manufacture directly from synthesis gas (CO + H2). CO(g) + 2H2(g) ⇋ CH3OH(g)     ΔH = -90 kJ/mol
