Enthalpy is a state function
Explanation:
The Hess's law allows us to determine the enthalpy change of a reaction because enthalpy is a state function. It does not depend on the individual path take in going from reactants to products in the reaction.
- Enthalpy changes are the heat changes accompanying physical and chemical changes.
- It is the difference between the heat content of product in the final state and the reactants.
- Enthalpy changes for some reactions are not easily measurable experimentally.
- To calculate such heat changes, we apply the Hess's law of heat summation.
- The law states that "the heat change of a reaction is the same whether it occurs in a step or several steps".
- The Hess's law is simply based on the first law of thermodynamics by which we know that energy is conserved in every system.
