    The ΔH is 5.5 kJ/mol and the reaction is endothermic.

    Explanation:

    To calculate the ∆H (heat of reaction) of the combustion reaction, that is, the heat that accompanies the entire reaction, you must make the total sum of all the heats of the products and of the reagents affected by their stoichiometric coefficient (number of molecules of each compound participating in the reaction) and finally subtract them:

    Combustion enthalpy = ΔH = ∑H products - ∑Hreactants

    In this case:

    ΔH = 15.7 kJ/mol - 10.2 kJ/mol = 5.5 kJ/mol

    An endothermic reaction is one whose enthalpy value is positive, that is, the system absorbs heat from the environment (ΔH> 0).

    The ΔH is 5.5 kJ/mol and the reaction is endothermic.
