NEET Chemistry Hess's Law Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): Hess's Law states that the enthalpy change for a reaction is the same whether it occurs in one step or in multiple steps.
Reason (R): Enthalpy is a state function, making the change in enthalpy independent of the path taken between reactants and products.
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
A is true but R is false.
A is false but R is true.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Hess's Law of Constant Heat Summation is based on the fact that enthalpy is a state function, making the enthalpy change path-independent as described in the NCERT context.
