acid - base reaction

or you can think of it like a double replacement/metathesis reaction

ok, so i got    Fe2O3+3HCL=Fe2Cl3+3OH   

now the problem becomes...i need to calculate the molar heat of formation of Fe203, without looking cheating and using the table. and then once i get my own value, i have to calculate the percentage error. now i'm seriously stuck. i have a whole series of questions if that would help.but i have figured out pretty much everything but this one little question.

OH is not a product, what do you get when you put together O2- and H+? acid and a base give ?

Hess's Law

sum of the heats of the products - sum of the heats of the reactants = heat of reaction

you need the heats of formation of HCl, FeCl3 and the other  and the heat of reaction to get heat of Fe2O3
