**Equilibrium Constant Calculation for Ammonia Formation Reaction**

Consider the reaction:

\[ \text{N}_2(g) + 3\text{H}_2(g) \rightleftharpoons 2\text{NH}_3(g) \]

The standard Gibbs energy of formation for NH₃ is given as:

\[ \Delta G^\circ_f (\text{NH}_3) = -15.73 \, \text{kJ/mol} \]

**Task:** Determine the equilibrium constant for this reaction at 298.15 K.

**Hint:** Pay attention to the stoichiometry of the reaction when using the Gibbs energy of formation.

**Note:** Report your answer as a whole number (no places past the decimal point).
