Solution

The correct option is A 34.9
Electron gain enthalpy of chlorine is 349 kJ/mol
it means, 349 kJ energy is released when 1 mole of chlorine is converted into Cl ion in the gaseous state.
so energy released when 3.55 g of chlorine is converted into Cl ion , E=349× no of moles of Cl
=349×(3.55g35.5 g/mol)
=34.9 kJ
Therefore, 34.9 kJ energy is released when 3.55g of chlorine is converted completely into Cl ion in the gaseous state.
