**Chemical Reaction Analysis**

Consider the following chemical reaction:

\[ 2 \, \text{CH}_3\text{OH}(g) \rightarrow 2 \, \text{CH}_4(g) + \text{O}_2(g) \]

\[\Delta H = +252.8 \, \text{kJ}\]

**Question:** Is this reaction exothermic or endothermic?

- [ ] Exothermic
- [x] Endothermic

**Explanation:** Since the enthalpy change (\(\Delta H\)) is positive, the reaction is endothermic, meaning it absorbs heat from the surroundings.

**Calculation Task:** Calculate the amount of heat transferred when 24.16 g of \(\text{CH}_3\text{OH}\) is decomposed by this reaction at constant pressure.

Please note: The solution involves using the molar mass of \(\text{CH}_3\text{OH}\) and applying stoichiometry to find the heat transferred based on the given \(\Delta H\).
