Given data:
Standard enthalpy change \mathrm{\left(\Delta H^{\circ}\right)=-200 \mathrm{~kJ} / \mathrm{mol}}
Standard entropy change \mathrm{\left(\Delta S^{\circ}\right)=150 \mathrm{~J} /(\mathrm{mol} \mathrm{K})}
The standard Gibbs free energy change \mathrm{\left(\Delta G^{\circ}\right)} for the reaction can be calculated using the equation:
\mathrm{ \Delta G^{\circ}=\Delta H^{\circ}-T \Delta S^{\circ} }
Substitute the given values and calculate \mathrm{ \Delta G^{\circ} \text { : } }

\mathrm{ \Delta G^{\circ}=\left(-200 \times 10^3 \mathrm{~J} / \mathrm{mol}\right)-(298 \mathrm{~K}) \cdot(150 \mathrm{~J} /(\mathrm{mol} \mathrm{K})) \approx-200 \times 10^3 \mathrm{~J} / \mathrm{mol}-44700 \mathrm{~J} / \mathrm{mol} \approx-244700 \mathrm{~J} / \mathrm{mol} }

Therefore, the standard Gibbs free energy change \mathrm{\left(\Delta G^{\circ}\right)} for the reaction is approximately \mathrm{-244700 \mathrm{~J} / \mathrm{mol}.}

So, the correct option is 1.
