The standard free energies of formation ...

The standard free energies of formation in the gaseous state of methanol, dimethyl ether and water are -38.7, -27.3 and -54.6 kcal respectively. Is the transformation of methanol to dimehtyl ether and water in gaseous state possible?
`2CH_(3)OHtoCH_(3)OCH_(3)+H_(2)O`

`DeltaG^(@)` for the tranformation
`=sumDelta_(("product"))^(@)-sumDeltaG_(("reactants"))^(@)`
`=-ve` (the transformation is possible).
