What is the total entropy change at 25oC for the reaction below, if the standard entropies of reactants and products are So (C(gr)) = 5.74 J/mol*K, So (H2(g)) = 130.68 J/mol*K, and So (C5H10(g)) = 347.7700 J/mol*K and the heat of formation of C5H10(g)) is -20.9300 kJ/mol. 5C(gr) + 5H2(g) ↔ C5H10(g)

Question
What is the total entropy change at 25oC for the reaction below, if the standard entropies of reactants and products are So (C(gr)) = 5.74 J/mol*K, So (H2(g)) = 130.68 J/mol*K, and So (C5H10(g)) = 347.7700 J/mol*K and the heat of formation of C5H10(g)) is -20.9300 kJ/mol.
5C(gr) + 5H2(g) ↔ C5H10(g)
 
ΔSototal = 264.095 J
 
ΔSototal = -334.330 J
 
ΔSototal = -264.095 J
 
ΔSototal = 334.330 J

Am i supposed to do something with the heat of formation? I used the formula and subtracted the products from the reactants and still got the wrong answer?
