Calculate the enthalpy of formation of anhydrous aluminium chloride, `Al_(2)Cl_(6)` from the following data :
(i) `2Al(s) + 6HCl (aq) to Al_(2)Cl_(6) (aq) + 3H_(2)(g), Delta_(r)H^(@) = -1004.0 kJ`
(ii) `H_(2)(g) + Cl_(2)(aq) to 2HCl(g) , Delta_(r)H^(@) = -183.9 kJ , Delta_(r)H^(@) = -183.9 kJ`
(iii) `HCl(g) + aq to HCl(aq), Delta_(r)H^(@) = -73.2 kJ`
`Al_(2)Cl_(6)(s) + aq to Al_(2) Cl_(2)(aq) , Delta_(r)H^(@) = -643.0 kJ`
