How do you find the standard state of an element?
The question has made up an element called Gu. It has 4 different forms, and it gives the enthalpy of reaction for all 4. I was wondering how I could find the standard state using the enthalpy.

The enthalpy of formation of any pure element is zero under standard conditions.
Whatever the element's enthalpy of formation's value is zero tells you the standard state of that element.

If you look on a periodic table, it'll tell you with a little symbol next to the element name I think.
