For the reaction CO(g) + 2H2(g) ⇌ CH3OH(g), what effect does adding H2 have?

A. Equilibrium shifts left
B. Equilibrium shifts right
C. No effect
D. Increases K value

Answer: Equilibrium shifts right

Additional Information: Adding more reactant H2 increases its concentration, driving the reaction toward product formation.
