Solution

The overall heat of the reaction will be positive. This is because bond dissociation energy is the energy required to break a bond. If the sum of the reactant bond dissociation energies is greater than the sum of the product bond dissociation energies, it means more energy is required to break the bonds in the reactants than is released when the bonds in the products are formed. This results in a net absorption of energy, which is characteristic of an endothermic reaction. In terms of enthalpy change (ΔH), which is what the 'heat of the reaction' refers to, an endothermic reaction has a positive ΔH.
