Explanation:

To find the Gibbs free energy change (\( \Delta G \)) for the given equation, we need to use the Gibbs-Helmholtz equation:

\[ \Delta G = \Delta H - T \Delta S \]

Where:

- \( \Delta G \) is the Gibbs free energy change,

- \( \Delta H \) is the enthalpy change,

- \( T \) is the temperature in Kelvin,

- \( \Delta S \) is the entropy change.

The correct option is:

a) \( \Delta G = \Delta H - T \Delta S \)
