One mole of acetone requires less heat to vaporise than $1$ mol of water. Which of the two liquids has higher enthalpy of vaporisation?

For the reaction,$2 H_{2(g)} + O_{2(g)} \longrightarrow 2 H_{2}O_{(g)}$,$\Delta H^{\circ} = -573.2 \ kJ$. The heat of decomposition of water per mole is

Given the following data:
Reaction Energy Change (in $kJ$)
$Li_{(s)} \to Li_{(g)}$ $161$
$Li_{(g)} \to Li^{+}_{(g)}$ $520$
$\frac{1}{2} F_{2(g)} \to F_{(g)}$ $77$
$F_{(g)} + e^- \to F^{-}_{(g)}$ (Electron gain enthalpy)
$Li^{+}_{(g)} + F^{-}_{(g)} \to LiF_{(s)}$ $-1047$
$Li_{(s)} + \frac{1}{2} F_{2(g)} \to LiF_{(s)}$ $-617$

Based on the data provided,the value of electron gain enthalpy of fluorine would be $kJ\ mol^{-1}$.

What will be the standard heat of reaction for the reaction $C_2H_{6(g)} + 7/2 O_{2(g)} \to 2CO_{2(g)} + 3H_2O_{(l)}$ if the standard heat of combustion of $C_{(s)}$ and $H_{2(g)}$ are $-393.5 \ kJ/mol$ and $-285 \ kJ/mol$ respectively,and the standard heat of formation of $C_2H_{6(g)}$ is $-88.2 \ kJ/mol$?

The bond dissociation energies of gaseous $H_2$,$Cl_2$ and $HCl$ are $104$,$58$ and $103 \ kcal$ respectively. The enthalpy of formation of $HCl$ gas would be $... \ kcal$.
