Question
**Ammonium Perchlorate Decomposition and Enthalpy Calculation**

**4) Safety Note:**
Ammonium perchlorate must be handled with caution as it can decompose violently. The decomposition is represented by the following thermochemical equation:

\[ 2 \text{NH}_4\text{ClO}_4(s) \rightarrow \text{N}_2(g) + \text{Cl}_2(g) + 2 \text{O}_2(g) + 4 \text{H}_2\text{O}(g) \]

The enthalpy change (\(\Delta H\)) for this reaction is \(-375.6 \text{ kJ}\).

Additionally, the enthalpy of formation for water in its gaseous form, \(\text{H}_2\text{O}(g)\), is given as \(-241.8 \text{ kJ}\).

**Task:**
Calculate the enthalpy of formation for ammonium perchlorate.
