### Determining the Standard Gibbs Free Energy Change (ΔG⁰ₓₙ)

#### Problem Statement:
Calculate the value of ΔG⁰ₓₙ for the reaction:

\[ 
2C \rightarrow 3A + 4B 
\]

#### Given Information:
For the reaction:

\[
C \rightarrow \frac{3}{2} A + 2B
\]

the standard Gibbs free energy change (ΔG⁰ₓₙ) is given as:

\[ 
ΔG⁰ₓₙ = 240.5 \text{ kJ/mol} 
\]

#### Explanation:
To determine the ΔG⁰ₓₙ for the target reaction, consider the given reaction and how it relates to the target reaction.

1. The given reaction:
   \[
   C \rightarrow \frac{3}{2} A + 2B
   \]
   has a ΔG⁰ₓₙ value of 240.5 kJ/mol.

2. For the target reaction:
   \[
   2C \rightarrow 3A + 4B
   \]

   Notice that the target reaction is exactly twice the given reaction:
   \[
   2 \times \left( C \rightarrow \frac{3}{2} A + 2B \right)
   \]
   which simplifies to:
   \[
   2C \rightarrow 3A + 4B
   \]

3. Therefore, the ΔG⁰ₓₙ for the target reaction will be twice that of the given reaction:
   \[
   ΔG⁰ₓₙ = 2 \times 240.5 \text{ kJ/mol} = 481.0 \text{ kJ/mol}
   \]

### Conclusion:
The standard Gibbs free energy change (ΔG⁰ₓₙ) for the reaction \(2C \rightarrow 3A + 4B\) is 481.0 kJ/mol.
