For the reaction: CH 4 (g) + 2H 2 O(g) ⇌ CO 2 (g) + 4H 2 (g) ΔH° = +190 kJ add H 2 (g):

According to Le Chatelier's principle, adding a product will shift the equilibrium to the left in order to counteract the change. Therefore, the reaction will react to the left when H 2 (g) is added. The other answer choices are not relevant to the given change.
