Calculate the enthalpy of formation of ethylene $(C_2H_4)$ from the following data:
$I. C_{(graphite)} + O_{2(g)} \rightarrow CO_{2(g)}; \Delta H = -393.5 \ kJ$
$II. H_{2(g)} + \frac{1}{2}O_{2(g)} \rightarrow H_2O_{(l)}; \Delta H = -286.2 \ kJ$
$III. C_2H_{4(g)} + 3O_{2(g)} \rightarrow 2CO_{2(g)} + 2H_2O_{(l)}; \Delta H = -1410.8 \ kJ$ (in $kJ$)
