    The reaction is:

    4 PCl3 (g) - - - > P4 (s) + 6 Cl2 (g).

    Now, you need to convert the mass of PCl3 into number of moles, for which you use the molar mass of PCl3 in this way:

    number of moles = number of grams / molar mass = >

    number of moles of PCl3 = 612 g / 137.32 g/mol = 4.4567 moles of PCl3.

    Now use the proportion with the ΔH rxn given.

    4 mol PCl3 / 1207 kJ = 4.4567 mol / x = > x = 4.4567 mol * 1207 kJ / 4 mol = 1,344.8 kJ = 1.34 * 10^3 kJ.

    Answer: 1.34 * 10 ^3 kJ (option d)
