The standard enthalpy of formation is defined for the formation of 1 mole of a compound from its elements in their standard states. For Mn2O3(s), this involves reacting manganese in its standard state (Mn(s)) with oxygen gas (O2) to form Mn2O3(s). The balanced equation is 2Mn(s) + 3/2 O2(g) → Mn2O3(s).
