And for any of the other compounds. So in other words, by defining that reference state, we can then figure out or measure heats of formation of a vast number of compounds.

对吧？对于任何其他的,化合物也是一样，所以换句话讲，定义了这个参考状态,我们就能算出或测量许多。

We can tabulate them. We can know them, and then when we have reactions that inter-convert different compounds, we can calculate the heat of reaction is just the difference between the heat of formation of the reactants, and the heat of formation of the products, right.

种化合物的生成热，可以把它们列成表,可以认知它们，而当我们要处理，在不同化合物间转变的反应时,我们只要计算反应物和,生成物的生成热之间的不同,就能计算出反应热。
