Let us consider an endothermic reaction which is non-spontaneous at the freezing point of water. However,the reaction is spontaneous at the boiling point of water. Choose the correct option.

Consider the following reaction:
$A_{(g)} + 3 B_{(g)} \longrightarrow 2 C_{(g)} ; \Delta H^{\ominus} = -24 \ kJ$.
At $25^{\circ} C$,if $\Delta G^{\ominus}$ of the reaction is $-9 \ kJ$,the standard entropy change (in $J \ K^{-1}$) of the same reaction at the same temperature is:

For a certain reaction,$\Delta H = -225 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$ and $\Delta S = -150 \ J \ K^{-1} \ mol^{-1}$. Find the temperature at which $\Delta G$ is zero. (in $K$)

Calculate the value of $\Delta G$ for the following reaction: $N_2O_{4(g)} \longrightarrow 2NO_{2(g)}$ if $\Delta H = 57.44 \ kJ$ and $\Delta S = 176 \ J \ K^{-1} \ mol^{-1}$ at $300 \ K$. (in $kJ$)
