Solution

The correct option is A - 600 cal
Given:
$△ H = 31400 c a l / m o l △ S = 32 c a l K^{- 1} m o l^{- 1} a n d T = 727^{o} C = 727 + 273 = 1000 K$
The expression to calculate Gibbs free energy is given as
$△ G = △ H - T △ S = 31400 - 1000 \times 32 = - 600 c a l$
hence, the free energy for a reaction is $- 600 c a l$
