Change in enthalpy for reaction $2H_2O_2(l) \rightarrow 2H_2O(l) + O_2(g)$, if heat of formation of $H_2O_2(l)$ and $H_2O(l)$ are –188 and –286 kJ/mol respectively : -$\Delta H_r = \sum\Delta H_f(\text{products}) - \sum\Delta H_f(\text{reactants})$
$\Delta H_f(O_2) = 0$ (element in its standard state)
$\Delta H_r = [2(-286) + 0] - [2(-188)] = -572 + 376$
$\Delta H_r = -196$ kJ/mol
