The process is

2SO₂ (g) + O₂ (g) → 2SO₃ (g)

According to Gibs free energy equation, G = H - TS

where G = Gibs free energy which is a measure of chemical energy

H = Enthalpy value of enthalpy given, H = - 198.4 kJ

T = temperature in kelvins = 297 K

S = entropy of this reaction

which is S = - 187.9 J/K

Entopy is already given in the question which is - 187.9 J/k
