    -3.7771 * 10² kJ/mol

    Explanation:

    Let's consider the following equation.

    3 Mg (s) + 2 Al³⁺ (aq) ⇌ 3 Mg²⁺ (aq) + 2 Al (s)

    We can calculate the standard Gibbs free energy (ΔG°) using the following expression.

    ΔG° = ∑np. ΔG°f (p) - ∑nr. ΔG°f (r)

    where,

    n: moles

    ΔG°f () : standard Gibbs free energy of formation

    p: products

    r: reactants

    ΔG° = 3 mol * ΔG°f (Mg²⁺ (aq)) + 2 mol * ΔG°f (Al (s)) - 3 mol * ΔG°f (Mg (s)) - 2 mol * ΔG°f (Al³⁺ (aq))

    ΔG° = 3 mol * (-456.35 kJ/mol) + 2 mol * 0 kJ/mol - 3 mol * 0 kJ/mol - 2 mol * (-495.67 kJ/mol)

    ΔG° = - 377.71 kJ = - 3.7771 * 10² kJ

    This is the standard Gibbs free energy per mole of reaction.
