For the reaction
2 A(g) + B(g) → 2D(g)
ΔU0 = –10.5 kJ and ΔS0 = –44.1 JK–1.
Calculate ΔG0 for the reaction, and predict whether the reaction may occur spontaneously.
For the given reaction,
2 A(g) + B(g) → 2D(g)
Δng = 2 - (3) = -1 mole
Substituting the value of ΔU0¸ in the expression of ΔH:
ΔHº = ΔUº + ΔngRT
= (-10.5 kJ) - (-1) (8.314 x 10-3 kJ K-1 mol-1) (298 K)
= -10.5 kJ - 2.48 kJ
ΔHº = -8.02 kJ
Substituting the values of ΔHº and ΔSº¸ in the expression of ΔH:
ΔGº = ΔHº - TΔSº
= -8.-02 kJ - (298 K) (-44.1 J K-1)
= -8.02 kJ + 13.14 kJ
ΔGº = + 5.12 kJ
Since ΔGº for the reaction is positive, the reaction will not occur spontaneously.

Comments
How is T = 298K when it is not mentioned anywhere in the question.
Minus is kept two times in the 6th line its a mistake
