The correct answer is: 163

Free energy change of a reaction is calculated by,

G=G+RT lnQ

At equilibrium, the free energy change of a reaction is zero (G=0), and the reaction quotient (Q) is equal to the equilibrium constant (K). So, the above relation takes the form,

G=-RT lnK

G=-2.303RT log10K

where G=standard free energy change

Therefore,

G=-2.303×8.314×298×log3×10-29 J mol-1

G=-5705.8×log3+log10-29 J mol-1

G=-5705.8×0.47-29 J mol-1

G=162787J mol-1

G163 kJ mol-1
