We are given the equation to use which is:
ΔG = ΔH - TΔS
We are also given that:
ΔG = 173.3 kJ
T = 303 degrees kelvin
ΔH = 180.7 kJ
Substitute with these givens in the above equation to get ΔS as follows:
ΔG = ΔH - TΔS
173.3 = 180.7 - 303ΔS
303ΔS = 180.7 - 173.3
303ΔS = 7.4
ΔS = 7.4 / 303 = 0.02442 kJ/K which is equivalent to 24.42 J/k
Based on the above calculations, the correct choice is:
D. 24.42 J/K
