Detailed Solution

The balanced equation is:

AlCl3+3H2OAl(OH)3+3HCl ΔHf of AlCl3(s)=-704 kJ/mol ΔHf of Al(OH)3(s)=-1276 kJ/mol ΔHf of H2O(l)=-286 kJ/mol ΔHf of HCl(aq)=-167 kJ/mol

We know that,

ΔH=ΔHproduct -ΔHreactant  ΔH=ΔHAl(OH)3+3ΔHHCl-ΔHAlCl3-3ΔHH2O ΔH=-1276+3(-167)-(-704)-3(-286) ΔH=-215 kJ/mol

So, for precipitation of 1 mole of Al(OH)3=-215 kJ/mol

Thus, for precipitation of 0.5 mole of Al(OH)3=-215×0.5 kJ/mol

=-107.5 kJ/mol

Hence, option (B) is correct.
