### Chemical Reactions and Their Energies

This section examines several chemical reactions involving chlorine monofluoride (ClF), oxygen (O₂), and fluorine (F₂), alongside their respective enthalpy changes (ΔH).

1. **Reaction 1:**
   \[
   2 \text{ClF} + \text{O}_2 \rightarrow \text{F}_2\text{O} \quad \Delta H = 167.4 \text{ kJ/mol}
   \]
   In this reaction, chlorine monofluoride (ClF) reacts with oxygen (O₂) to form oxygen difluoride (F₂O). The reaction releases 167.4 kJ of energy per mole.

2. **Reaction 2:**
   \[
   2 \text{ClF} + 2 \text{O}_2 (\text{g}) \rightarrow \text{Cl}_2\text{O} + 3 \text{F}_2\text{O} \quad \Delta H = 341.2 \text{ kJ/mol}
   \]
   Here, chlorine monofluoride (ClF) reacts with gaseous oxygen (O₂) to produce dichlorine monoxide (Cl₂O) and three moles of oxygen difluoride (F₂O). This reaction releases 341.2 kJ of energy per mole.

3. **Reaction 3:**
   \[
   2 \text{F}_2 + \text{O}_2 \rightarrow 2 \text{F}_2\text{O} \quad \Delta H = -43.4 \text{ kJ/mol}
   \]
   In this reaction, fluorine (F₂) reacts with oxygen (O₂) to form oxygen difluoride (F₂O). The reaction absorbs 43.4 kJ of energy per mole.

4. **Decomposition Reaction:**
   \[
   \text{Equation}: \text{ClF}_3 \rightarrow \text{ClF} + \text{F}_2
   \]
   The decomposition of chlorine trifluoride (ClF₃) into chlorine monofluoride (ClF) and fluorine (F₂) is described, though the energy change is not specified in this reaction.

These reactions provide insights into the energetic changes accompanying the chemical transformations
