again i'm having trouble understanding this, i'm confused on what formula to use. :(
Calculate ΔG° (298 K) for the following reactions from ΔfG° data:
a)CaO (s) + H2O (l) ---> Ca(OH)2 (s)
b)2C2H5OH( (l) + 602 ---> 4CO2 (g) + 6H2O (l)
c)2HNO3 (l) + 2HCL (g) ---> Cl2 (g) + 2NO2 (g) + 2H2O (l)
ΔfG° (kJ mol-1)
CaO(s) –604
H2O(l) –237
Ca(OH)2(s) –897
C2H5OH(l) –175
CO2(g) –394
HNO3(l) –80
HCl(g) –95
NO2(g) +52

You'd use Hess' Law.
Here are some examples:

which use enthalpies of formation. However, the techniqe is the same when using free energies of formation.
since you have the change in G for all of the reactions all you do is reactants - products meaning that you'd get the free energy change in each and subtract your reactants from your products it's that simple
