ΔH can be measured indirectly by applying

Correct answer: D. Hess's Law

  • A. Avogadro's law
  • B. Faraday's Law
  • C. Gas's Law
  • D. Hess's Law

Explanation

Hess's Law states that the total enthalpy change during a chemical reaction is the same, regardless of whether the reaction occurs in one step or multiple steps. This means that the enthalpy change is a state function and is independent of the pathway taken.
