Question:medium

The standard enthalpy of formation of H₂O(l) and Fe₂O₃(s) are respectively −286 kJ mol⁻¹ and −824 kJ mol⁻¹. What is the standard enthalpy change for the following reaction?
\[ \text{Fe}_2\text{O}_3(s) + 3\text{H}_2(g) \rightarrow 3\text{H}_2\text{O}(l) + 2\text{Fe}(s) \]

Show Hint

Elements in standard state have zero enthalpy of formation.
