∆H˚f is the change in enthalpy (∆H) when 1 mole of the compound is formed from its constituent elements with all the substances at the standard states.
∆Hrxn is the change in the ∆H˚f of products and reactants.
a) The given reaction is:
Thus to make ∆Hrxn of NaCl equal to the ∆H˚f (NaCl), Cl should be in the standard state.
Thus the reaction should be:
∆Hrxn of NaCl is:
b) The given reaction is:
Thus to make ∆Hrxn of H2O equal to the ∆Hf (H2O), elements and compounds should be in the standard state.
Thus the equation should be:
∆Hrxn of H2O(l) is:
In case ∆Hrxn of H2O (g) is needed, then vaporization energy will be needed to convert liquid into gas.
