Hydrazine, \(\text{N}_2\text{H}_4\), decomposes into nitrogen gas and hydrogen gas according to the following equation.

\[\text{N}_2\text{H}_4\text{(g)} \rightarrow \text{N}_2\text{(g)} + 2\,\text{H}_2\text{(g)}\]

The table below provides average bond energies for the bonds involved in the reaction.

BondAverage bond energy (\(\text{kJ/mol}\))
\(\text{N}-\text{N}\)\(160\)
\(\text{N}-\text{H}\)\(390\)
\(\text{N}\equiv\text{N}\)\(950\)
\(\text{H}-\text{H}\)\(435\)

Based on the data in the table, which of the following correctly predicts and explains whether the decomposition reaction is endothermic or exothermic?
