    (C) 0.78*10⁴ kJ

    Explanation:

    The enthalpy of the reaction = - 625.6 kJ (Negative sign signifies heat released).

    From the reaction,

    1 mole of silicon tetrachloride undergoes reaction to produce 1 mole of elemental silicon with the release of energy 625.6 kJ

    So,

    For 12.5 moles of silicon tetrachloride:

    The enthalpy is : - 625.6 * 12.5 kJ = 7820 kJ.

    Rearranging in the form of answer as 7820 kJ = 0.78*10⁴ kJ (C)
