From the statement of Hess' law, the enthalpy of the reaction A---> C is +90 kJ
<h3>What is Hess' law?</h3>
Hess' law of constant heat summation states that for a multistep reaction, the standard enthalpy of reaction is always constant and is independent of the pathway or intermediate routes taken.
From Hess' law, the enthalpy change for the reaction A ----> C is calculated as follows:
A---> C = A ---> B + B ---> C
ΔH of A---> C = 30 kJ + 60 kJ
ΔH = 90 kJ
Therefore, the enthalpy of the reaction A---> C is +90 kJ
The above reaction A---> C can be shown in the enthalpy diagram below:

What are the answer choices
It is a poly atomic anion because it has more than one atom and a negative charge
Data: molar mass 470 g/mol
Percent composition:
Hg = 85.0%
Cl = 15.0%
Solution:
1) Convert % to molar ratios
A. Base: 100 g
=> Hg = 85.0 g / 200.59 g/mol = 0.4235 mol
Cl = 15.0 g / 35.45 g/mol = 0.4231 mol
B. divide by the higher number and round to whole number
Hg = 0.4325 / 0.4231 = 1.00
Cl = 0.4231 / 0.4231 = 1.00
=> Empirical formula = Hg Cl
2) Find the mass of the empirical formula:
HgCl: 200.59 g/mol + 35.45 g/mol = 236.04
3) Determine how many times is the empirical mass contained in the molecular mass:
470 g/mol / 236.04 = 1.99 ≈ 2
=> Molecular formula = Hg2 Cl2.
Answers:
Empirical formula HgCl
Molecular Formula Hg2Cl2
