the enthalpy change for the reaction 2H2 + O2--> 2H2O is 574kJ . what is the heat of formation of water

Dear Student,

Heat of reaction = [the sum of all heats of formation of all products]  -   [the sum of all heats of formation of all reactants]

Enthalpy of the reaction = 574 KJ

So the heat of formation of water = 574/2 = 287 KJ ( for 1 mole of water)

Regards
