See below

Work Step by Step

(a) $Δ_{r}$G° at 80.0 °C = +0.14 kJ/mol-rxn $Δ_{r}$G° at 110.0 °C = −0.12 kJ/mol-rxn Rhombic sulfur is more stable than monoclinic sulfur at 80 °C, but the reverse is true at 110 °C. (b) T = 370 K or about 96 °C. This is the temperature at which the two forms are at equilibrium under standard conditions.
