**Gibbs Free Energy Calculation**

Calculate ΔG° for the reaction below at a temperature of 25°C, given that ΔH° = -52.9 kJ and ΔS° = -166.4 J/K.

\[ 2\text{HI}(g) \rightarrow \text{H}_2(g) + \text{I}_2(g) \]

**Options:**

a) -3.35 kJ

b) 3.35 kJ

c) -49.6 kJ

d) 49.6 kJ

**Explanation:**

To calculate the Gibbs free energy change (ΔG°) for a reaction, use the formula:

\[ \Delta G^\circ = \Delta H^\circ - T\Delta S^\circ \]

- **ΔH°**: Enthalpy change, given in kJ.
- **ΔS°**: Entropy change, converted to kJ by dividing J by 1000.
- **T**: Temperature in Kelvin, converted from Celsius by adding 273.15.

Given:

- ΔH° = -52.9 kJ
- ΔS° = -166.4 J/K = -0.1664 kJ/K
- T = 25°C = 25 + 273.15 = 298.15 K

Substitute these values into the formula to find ΔG°:

\[ \Delta G^\circ = -52.9 \, \text{kJ} - (298.15 \, \text{K} \times -0.1664 \, \text{kJ/K}) \]

Calculate ΔG° and select the correct option.
