Option D is correct. It is independent of the reaction pathway.
<h2>Explanations:</h2><h2>What is Hess's law?</h2>
Hesslaw states that the enthalpy change of a reaction does not change regardless whether the reaction takes place in a single or multiple reaction pathways.
This shows that the total entalpy change of a reaction does not depend on the reaction pathway.
Water is a molecular compound consisting of polar molecules that have a bent shape. The oxygen atom acquires a partial negative charge while the hydrogen atom acquires a partial positive charge.
