### Reaction Energy Calculation: Exothermic and Endothermic Analysis

A chemist measures the energy change \(\Delta H\) during the following reaction:
\[ \text{Cl}_2(g) + \text{H}_2(g) \rightarrow 2 \text{HCl}(g) \]
\[ \Delta H = -184 \, \text{kJ} \]

Use the information to answer the following questions.

---

#### This reaction is...
- [ ] endothermic.
- [x] exothermic.

#### Suppose 81.8 g of \(\text{Cl}_2\) react.
Will any heat be released or absorbed?
- [ ] Yes, absorbed.
- [x] Yes, released.
- [ ] No.

#### If you said heat will be released or absorbed in the second part of this question, calculate how much heat will be released or absorbed.
\[ \boxed{} \, \text{kJ} \]

#### Round your answer to 3 significant digits.

**Educational Context Explanation:**

In this exercise, students are asked to work through a thermodynamic problem where they are given the enthalpy change (\(\Delta H\)) of a chemical reaction. The exercise tests their understanding of whether the reaction is exothermic or endothermic, and their ability to calculate the amount of heat released or absorbed during the reaction based on given masses of reactants. 

Key points learned:
1. What indicates an exothermic or endothermic reaction.
2. How to determine heat release or absorption based on chemical information.
3. How to perform stoichiometric calculations to link enthalpy changes to specific quantities of substances.
