### Understanding Standard Heat of Formation and Reaction 

The concept of standard heat of formation, denoted as \(\Delta H_f^\circ\), is essential in chemistry. It is defined as the enthalpy change required to form one mole of a substance from its constituent elements in their standard states. Elements in their standard states have \(\Delta H_f^\circ = 0\). These values are crucial as they enable the calculation of the enthalpy change of any reaction.

**Example Reaction:**
\[ 2NO(g) + O_2(g) \rightarrow 2NO_2(g) \]

Using the following heat of formation values:

| Substance | \(\Delta H_f^\circ\) (kJ/mol) |
|-----------|-------------------------------|
| NO(g)     | 90.2                          |
| O\(_2\)(g)| 0.0                           |
| NO\(_2\)(g)| 33.2                         |

The standard heat of reaction for the overall reaction can be calculated as:

\[
\Delta H_{rxn}^\circ = \sum \Delta H_f^\circ (\text{products}) - \sum \Delta H_f^\circ (\text{reactants})
\]

\[
= [2(33.2)] - [2(90.2) + 0]
\]

\[
= 66.4 - 180.4
\]

\[
= -114 \text{ kJ}
\]

**Part B:**
The combustion of heptane, \( C_7H_{16} \), occurs via the reaction:

\[ C_7H_{16}(g) + 11O_2(g) \rightarrow 7CO_2(g) + 8H_2O(g) \]

Using the heat of formation values from the table:

| Substance | \(\Delta H_f^\circ\) (kJ/mol) |
|-----------|-------------------------------|
| \( C_7H_{16}(g) \) | -187.9                |
| \( CO_2(g) \)     | -393.5                |
| \( H_2O(g) \)     | -241.8                |

Calculate the enthalpy for the combustion of 1 mole of heptane. Express your answer to four significant figures and include the appropriate units.
