${H_2}{O_2}_{(l)} \to {H_2}{O_{(l)}} + \frac{1}{2}\,{O_2}_{(g)},\,{\Delta _r}H = ?$

$\begin{array}{l} {\Delta _r}H = [{\Delta _f}H({H_2}O) + \frac{1}{2}{\Delta _f}H({O_2})] - [{\Delta _f}H({H_2}{O_2})]\\\\ \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = [ - 285.8 + 0] - [ - 187.8]\\\\ \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = \, - 98KJ/mole \end{array}$

Note: Standard enthalpy of formation of an element in its standard state (or) uncombined state is Zero
