Answer: This reaction is exothermic.

Step-by-step explanation:

The reaction you provided is:

C6H12O6(s)+6O2(g)→6H2O(l)+6CO2(g)

You mentioned that energy is given off in this reaction. When energy is released during a chemical reaction, it is called an exothermic reaction.

Therefore, the reaction is exothermic.
