Question

When H2(g) reacts with C2H4(g) to form C2H6(g) according to the following equation, energy is released into the surroundings. H2(g) + C2H4(g) → C2H6(g) Is this reaction endothermic or exothermic? What is the sign of ΔH for the reaction? Would the energy of the surroundings increase or decrease as a result of this process?

          When H2(g) reacts with C2H4(g) to form C2H6(g) according to the following equation, energy is released into the surroundings.

H2(g) + C2H4(g) → C2H6(g)

Is this reaction endothermic or exothermic? 
What is the sign of ΔH for the reaction? 
Would the energy of the surroundings increase or decrease as a result of this process?
