I am still confused about how to set up this problem and find the answer.
Some datas missing

6 x Cl-F = 1 ? Cl-Cl + 3 x F-F + 803
F-F =( 6 x Cl-F - 803 - 1x Cl-Cl)/3
F-F = 158 KJ

I think we did this question in class also.
Remember
Bond breaking is endothermic
Bond formation is exothermic Delta H (reaction) = Total energy needed to break the bonds - Total energy released on formation of bonds.Draw Lewis dot structures of all reactants and products.
Check what all bonds are broken and what all are formed.
Use reference table of bond enthalpies and the number of moles of each type of bond.
Use above equation to get the answer.
