MCQ
Hess law is based on
- ALaw of conservation of mass
- ✓Law of conservation of energy
- CEnthalpy is a state function
- DNone of these
✓
Answer
Correct option: B.
Law of conservation of energy
b
The Hess's law states that the total enthalpy change during the complete course of a chemical reaction is the same whether the reaction is made in one step or in several steps. Hess's law is now understood as an expression of the principle of conservation of energy, also expressed in the first law of thermodynamics, and the fact that the enthalpy of a chemical process is independent of the path taken from the initial to the final state (i.e. enthalpy is a state function).
