Methane gas (CH4) reacts with oxygen gas (0₂) according to

Methane gas (CH4) reacts with oxygen gas (0₂) according to the equation below: CH4 +20₂ → CO₂ + H₂O + energy This reaction releases 890 kJ of energy for every mole of methane consumed. Part 1. Is this reaction endothermic or exothermic? Part 2. What is the enthalpy change value for this reaction? Part 3. Explain in terms of potential energy, which has more energy -the products or the reactants. Explain your response.
