(Note that in these last two expressions the reaction coefficients are exact quantities and don’t affect number of
significant figures.)
In the original solution sets the temperatures were swapped which changed the signs of these enthalpies.
The enthalpy of the reaction at the standard temperature of T = 298 can be calculated from enthalpies of formation.
