Homework Statement
Calculate the change in the molar Gibbs energy of a perfect gas when it expands isothermally and reversibly at a temperature of 25{\circ} Cfrom a molar volume of 4 \, \text{dm}^3 to a molar volume of 9 \, \text{dm}^3
Homework Equations
I derived the following equation
\Delta G = RT \ln \Big{(}\dfrac{V_i}{V_f}\Big{)}
The Attempt at a Solution
\Delta G = (8.314)(298.15)\ln \Big{(}\dfrac{4}{9}\Big{)}=-2010.15 \, \text{kJ/mol}
But apparently this is incorrect, I don't see what I did wrong. I'm fairly certain my derivation is correct.
Edit: \Delta G = -2.01 \, \text{kJ/mol}
