The formula for ΔU°rxn is: ΔU°rxn = H - PV. Assuming ideal gas, it could also be: ΔU°rxn = H - RT.

For the first reaction:

ΔU°rxn = (-511.3 kJ/mol) - (0.008314 J/mol-K) (25+273 K) = - 513.78 kJ/mol

For the second reaction:

ΔU°rxn = (-184.6 kJ/mol) - (0.008314 J/mol-K) (25+273 K) = - 187.08 kJ/mol
