Answer:

D) -108.7 kJ/mol

Explanation:

The Hess's law states that overall ΔH° of a reaction could be obtained from the ΔH°rxn in which the overall reaction could be divided.

For the reactions:

2 ClF(g) + O₂(g) → Cl₂O(g) + F₂O(g) ΔH°rxn = 167.4 kJ/mol (1)

2 ClF₃(g) + 2O₂(g) → Cl₂O(g) + 3F₂O(g) ΔH°rxn =341.4 kJ/mol (2)

2 F₂(g)+ O₂(g) → 2F₂O(g) ΔH°rxn=-43.4 kJ/mol (3)

The sum of the reactions (1) + (3) minus (2) will give the reaction:

2ClF(g) + 2F₂(g) → 2ClF3(g) ΔH°rxn = 167,4 kH/mol +(-43,4kJ/mol) -341,4kJ/mol = -217,4 kJ/mol

Dividing the reaction in 2, ΔH°rxn of ClF(g) + F₂(g) → ClF3(g) is -217,4 kJ/mol/2

ΔH°rxn = -108,7 kJ/mol

Right answer is:

D) -108.7 kJ/mol

I hope it helps!
