**Question:**
What is the change in Gibbs Free Energy for a reaction that has an enthalpy change of 229.6 kJ/mol and an entropy change of 87.5 J/(mol K) at 62.6 °C?

**Your Answer:**

|                   |            |
|-------------------|------------|
| **Answer**        |            |
| **Units**         |            |

*Note: This section contains an input area designed for entering numerical and unit responses.* 

---

To solve this problem, use the Gibbs Free Energy equation:
\[ \Delta G = \Delta H - T \Delta S \]

Where:
- \(\Delta G\) is the change in Gibbs Free Energy.
- \(\Delta H\) is the change in enthalpy.
- \(T\) is the temperature in Kelvin.
- \(\Delta S\) is the change in entropy.

*Convert the temperature to Kelvin by adding 273.15 to the Celsius temperature:*
\[ T = 62.6 + 273.15 = 335.75 \, \text{K} \]

*Ensure units are consistent: Convert \(\Delta S\) from J/(mol K) to kJ/(mol K) by dividing by 1000:*
\[ \Delta S = 87.5 \, \text{J/(mol K)} = 0.0875 \, \text{kJ/(mol K)} \]

*Substitute the values into the Gibbs Free Energy equation:*
\[ \Delta G = 229.6 \, \text{kJ/mol} - 335.75 \, \text{K} \times 0.0875 \, \text{kJ/(mol K)} \]

*Calculate the change in Gibbs Free Energy.*
