A mixture of gaseous reactants is put into a cylinder, where a chemical reaction turns them into gaseous products. The cylinder has a piston that moves in or out, as necessary, to keep a constant pressure on the mixture of 1 atm. The cylinder is also submerged in a large insulated water bath.

Question

Please help me answer this thermochemistry question (i keep getting it wrong) 

A mixture of gaseous reactants is put into a cylinder, where a chemical reaction turns them into gaseous products. The
cylinder has a piston that moves in or out, as necessary, to keep a constant pressure on the mixture of 1 atm. The
cylinder is also submerged in a large insulated water bath. (See sketch at right.)
From previous experiments, this chemical reaction is known to absorb 194. kJ of energy.
The temperature of the water bath is monitored, and it is determined from this data that 312. kJ of heat flows into the
system during the reaction.
Is the reaction exothermic or endothermic?
Does the temperature of the water bath go up or
down?
Does the piston move in or out?
Does the gas mixture do work, or is work done
on it?
How much work is done on (or by) the gas
mixture? Be sure your answer has the correct
number of significant digits.
