The given equation has a ΔG° value of -28.6 kJ. To find the ΔG° of the given reaction, we need to multiply the ΔG° value by the stoichiometric coefficient of the reaction. In this case, we need to multiply -28.6 kJ by 5, which gives us -143.0 kJ. Since the reaction has a negative ΔG° value, it is exergonic (spontaneous). Therefore, the best choice is option A.
