O neither released nor absorbed OI need more information to decide. If you said energy was released or absorbed, calculate how much energy is released or absorbed. Give your answer in both kJ/mol and MeV. Be sure each of your answer entries has the correct number of significant digits. OJmol MeV Note: take particular care to keep enough digits in any intermediate calculation, and use enough digits in any scientific constants you need, since the data with which you are working are very precise.
