We’re being asked to determine the standard free energy change (ΔG) at 298 K for the given reaction:

H2SO4(l) ⇌ H2O(l) + SO3(g); K = 4.46×10−15

Recall that ΔG and K are related to each other:

$\overline{){\mathbf{\Delta G}}{{\mathbf{°}}}_{{\mathbf{rxn}}}{\mathbf{=}}{\mathbf{-}}{\mathbf{RTlnK}}}$
