Understand that the standard heat of formation (\( \Delta H_f^\circ \)) of a compound is defined as the enthalpy change when one mole of the compound is formed from its elements in their standard states under standard conditions (usually 1 atm and 25°C).
Identify the standard states of the elements involved: for sodium (Na), the standard state is solid sodium (\( \text{Na}(s) \)); for chlorine (Cl), the standard state is diatomic chlorine gas (\( \text{Cl}_2(g) \)).
Write the formation reaction such that one mole of sodium chloride (\( \text{NaCl}(s) \)) is produced from these elements in their standard states. Since chlorine is diatomic, only half a mole of \( \text{Cl}_2(g) \) is needed to provide one mole of Cl atoms.
Recognize that other given reactions involve ions in aqueous solution or gaseous atoms, which are not the standard elemental forms; therefore, they do not represent the standard heat of formation reaction.
