The standard molar enthalpies of formation of H2O(l) are given as:

H2(g) + 1/2 O2(g) → H2O(l) △f Ho = –285.8 kJ/mol

What will be the effect on enthalpy of formation, when the reaction is reversed?

a) Enthalpy of formation changes in magnitude and in direction.
b) Enthalpy of formation remains the same in magnitude and in direction.
c) Enthalpy of formation changes in direction only.
d) Enthalpy of formation becomes zero.
e) Enthalpy of formation changes in magnitude only.
