    Answer is: heat of the reaction is - 851,500 kJ.

    Chemical reaction: 2Al + Fe₂O₃ → Al₂O₃ + 2Fe.

    ΔHf (Fe₂O₃) = - 824,2 kJ/mol; enthalpy of formation.

    ΔHf (Al₂O₃) = - 1675,7 kJ/mol.

    By definition ΔH (element) = 0 kJ/mol.

    ΔHrxn = ∑ΔH (products) - ∑ΔH (reactants).

    ΔHrxn = 1 mol · (-1675,7 kJ/mol) - 1 mol · (-824,2 kJ/mol).

    ΔHrxn = - 851,500 kJ.
