This is an exothermic reaction.

Explanation:

You can calculate the reaction using the calculation below:

ΔH reac=  3(413Kj/mol) +358Kj/mol +467 Kj/mol +1070 kj/mol = 3134 kj/mol

ΔH prod = 3(413 kj/mol) + 347 kj/mol + 358kj/mol +467kj/mol +745 kj/mol = 3156kj/mol

ΔH = 3134 kj/mol - 3156kj/mol = -22 Kj/mol

Negative results indicate an exothermic reaction.
