Question

Determine the energy change for the reaction Li (s) + ½ Cl2 (g) → LiCl (s) from the following data:
Lattice energy of LiCl = −861 kJ/mol
Energy to vaporize Li = 159 kJ/mol
Ionization energy of Li = 520 kJ/mol
Cl2 bond energy: 240 kJ/mol
Electron affinity of Cl: −349 kJ/mol

I know the answer is -411 kJ/mol I want to know how to solve it and get to the answer.
