"If different processes are used to bring about the same chemical reaction, the enthalpy change is same for all of them". This is ______________ law?

Correct answer: A. Hess's

  • A. Hess's
  • B. Kirchoff's
  • C. Lavoisier and Laplace
  • D. None of these

Explanation

Hess's law states that the enthalpy change of a reaction depends only on the initial and final states, not on the path or number of intermediate steps. Kirchhoff's law instead describes how reaction enthalpy varies with temperature.
