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