Solution
The correct options are A Increasing the temperature B Decreasing the pressure C Adding some C2H6 D Removing some H2 Applying Le Chatelier's principle,
When the temperature is increased, the equilibrium shifts in the direction of the endothermic reaction.
When the pressure is increased, the equilibrium shifts in the direction of less number of moles.
The removal of a reactant and addition of a product shift the equilibrium in the backward direction.
