Explanation / Answer

dHrxn = sum of B.E( reactants) - sum of B.E(products)

Sum of B.E(reactants) = ( 10*464 ) + (3*727) + (1*376) = 7197 kJ

Sum of B.E(products) = (8*422)+(2*464)+(5*376)+(1*727)= 6911 kJ

dHrxn = 7197 - 6911

dHrxn = 286 kJ

As dHrxn is positive and dS = 0, the reaction is non-spontaneous at room temperature.

Therefore, energetically the reaction is not favourable.
