$\overline{)\mathbf{∆}{\mathbf{G}}_{\mathbf{rxn}}\mathbf{=}\mathbf{∆}\mathbf{G}{\mathbf{°}}_{\mathbf{rxn}}\mathbf{+}\mathbf{RTlnQ}}$

Step 1:

I2(g) + Cl2(g) ⇌ 2 ICl(g)

ΔG° I2(g) = 19.3 kJ/mol
ΔG° Cl2(g) = 0 kJ/mol (standard state)
ΔG° ICl(g) = -5.5 kj/mol

ΔG°rxn = -30.3 kJ

ΔG°rxn = -30300 J

Step 2:

PICl = 2.61 atm, PI2 = 0.321 atm, PCl2 = 0.217 atm
