Answer:

Exergonic

Explanation:

The process is exergonic because it transfer energy from the system to the surrounds in the shape of light. It happens because of the Gibbs free energy (ΔG) which is lower than zero. If the reaction was Endergonic, the Gibbs free energy should be higher than zero. We can calculate it from the GIbbs-Helmholtz equation: ΔG = ΔH - T . ΔS. ΔH is enthalpy, T is the temperature and ΔS is entropy.
