Answer:

The reaction is endothermic.

Step-by-step explanation:

A positive enthalpy change of reaction tells us that the reaction is positive. That is to say the energy that the reaction took in to break bonds is greater than the energy it gave out when it was forming bonds so the net change is positive.
