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