For a particular reaction, H + - 111.4 kj and S = -25.0 kj
Calculate G for this reaction at 298K.
I know that you have to use the equation G = H - TS, however i was trying to solve the equation and I set it all up and i feep on getting a different answer. I write -111.4 - 298(-25) and the answer is wrong. What am I doing wrong?

I think the problem is that H is given in kJ, while S is given in J/K. If you convert H to Joules this should fix it.

You have to make the units compatible. So you would do (111.4 kJ) - (298 K) (-25.0 J/K x 1kJ/1000). Convert delta s to kj per kelvin
