3XY + 3YZ → 3XZ + 6Y
Step 1: X2 + 2Y → 2XY |

(Enthalpy change for each reaction is ∆H° not H°.)
The law used here to solve is Hess's law of constant heat summation. The overall reaction : 3XY + 3YZ → 3XZ + 6Y
When we reverse a reaction, the sign of ∆H° get changed.
∆H°rxn = 78.54 kJ
Endothermic reaction ( positive value of ∆H°rxn)
