JEE Main 2 April 2026, Shift 1, Chemistry Q54

Question 54 of 75 in this shift, Chemistry question 4 of 25, Section A.

Consider the following data. (i) 2Al(s)+6HCl(aq)→Al2Cl6(aq)+3H2(g)+1200\mathrm{2Al(s)+6HCl(aq)\rightarrow Al_2Cl_6(aq)+3H_2(g)}+1200 kJ/mol (ii) H2(g)+Cl2(g)→2HCl(g)+164\mathrm{H_2(g)+Cl_2(g)\rightarrow2HCl(g)}+164 kJ/mol. (iii) HCl(g)+aq→HCl(aq)+83\mathrm{HCl(g)+aq\rightarrow HCl(aq)}+83 kJ/mol. (iv) Al2Cl6(s)+aq→Al2Cl6(aq)+663\mathrm{Al_2Cl_6(s)+aq\rightarrow Al_2Cl_6(aq)}+663 kJ/mol The enthalpy of formation of anhydrous solid Al2Cl6\mathrm{Al_2Cl_6} is :
  1. (1)−648 kJ mol−1-648\ \mathrm{kJ\ mol^{-1}}
  2. (2)−1350 kJ mol−1-1350\ \mathrm{kJ\ mol^{-1}}
  3. (3)−2002 kJ mol−1-2002\ \mathrm{kJ\ mol^{-1}}
  4. (4)−1527 kJ mol−1-1527\ \mathrm{kJ\ mol^{-1}}Official answer
