Enthalpy of Formation
Chlorine trifluoride is an interhalogen compound that reacts, usually explosively, with almost every known substance on earth, even relatively inert compounds, including glass, sand, concrete, and asbestos--which is a notorious flame-retardant material. It is a stronger oxidizing agent than O2, and is usually stored in metal canisters that are coated with F2 gas. Do not try to put out a fire caused by a ClF3 spill using water, because that will result in an explosive reaction that produces HF, a deadly gas. Trials involving ClF3 as war weapons were done during WWII, but handling, storing, and transporting this compound was more trouble than it was worth. Evil scientists need to determine the enthalpy of formation of ClF3, represented by this equation:
ClF(g)+ F2(g) → ClF3(g)       ΔH=?ClF_{\left(g\right)}+\ F_{2\left(g\right)}\ \rightarrow\ ClF_{3\left(g\right)}\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \Delta H=?
However, they were only able to determine the enthalpies of the following reactions:
