**Chemical Reaction Free Energy Calculation**

A chemist fills a reaction vessel with the following components at a temperature of 25.0°C:

- 0.306 g of mercurous chloride (\( \text{Hg}_2\text{Cl}_2 \)) solid
- 0.504 M mercury (I) (\( \text{Hg}_2^{2+} \)) aqueous solution
- 0.629 M chloride (\( \text{Cl}^- \)) aqueous solution

Under these conditions, calculate the reaction free energy (\( \Delta G \)) for the following chemical reaction:

\[ \text{Hg}_2\text{Cl}_2 (s) \rightleftharpoons \text{Hg}_2^{2+} (aq) + 2 \text{Cl}^- (aq) \]

Use the thermodynamic information in the ALEKS Data tab. Round your answer to the nearest kilojoule.

**Input Box:**

| **Enter Value:** | **kJ** | 
|:-----------------:|:----:|

Note: The input section includes options to reset (\( \times \)) or retry (\( \circlearrowright \)) the calculation.
