    It is an exothermic reaction.

    Explanation:

    Why? Since the kJ is added to the product side, we know that this is an exothermic reaction since it is releasing heat. Endothermic reactions absorb heat and thus it would be represented on the products side.

    To represent this exothermic reaction we would draw a curve starting mid graph then it goes up and then dropsdown. In other words, it looks downhill since it's releasing heat wheras an edothermic rxn, it is gaining heat, thus it looks like it is going upwards.
