    -37.63KJ

    Explanation:

    First, we write an equation of reaction:

    H + Br - --> HBr

    Now we are told that 155g of HBr is formed. We can calculate the number of moles of HBr formed as follows:

    We simply divide the mass of the HBr formed by the molar mass of HBr. The molar mass of HBr is 81g/mol

    The number of moles of HBr formed is thus 81/155 = 0.52 moles

    The amount of heat released is thus 0.52 * (-72) = - 37.63KJ
