exothermic
endothermic
not enough information given

Answer 1

Endothermic

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that heat is written as part of the reactants. Therefore, heat is necessary for the reaction to proceed.

In other words, the reaction is endothermic.

Conversely, if the heat is written as part of the products, heat is released as the reaction proceeds and hence the reaction is exothermic.
