Detailed Solution

The chemical reactions provided in the question can be written as:

Na(s)Na+(g)+e-  ΔH=495.8 kJ mol-1

12Br2(I)+e-Br-(g)  ΔH=-325.0 kJ mol-1

Na+(g)+Br-(g)NaBr(s)  ΔH=-728.4 kJ mol-1

Adding these three chemical equations, we get:

Na(s)+12Br2(I)NaBr(s)  ΔHf=?

ΔHf=495.8-325.0-728.4=-557.6 kJ mol-1

ΔHf=-5576×10-1 kJ mol-1

Hence, the required answer is 5576.
