Molar enthalpies

I've worked out H2=23.8 and H3=24.3 I don't know if they should be positive or negative or how to work out H1. Help would be very much appreciated!!

How did you work out the numerical values of H2 and H3?

That aside, I would expect the reactions between carbonates and a strong acid to be exothermic, so they are negative values.

To solve for H1, clockwise arrows = anti clockwise arrows

H1 + H3 = H2
H1 = H2 - H3
