NEET Chemistry Hess's Law Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): Hess's Law implies that the enthalpy change for a chemical reaction is independent of the path taken.
Reason (R): Enthalpy is a state function, and its value depends only on the initial and final states of the reaction.
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.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Hess's Law states that the enthalpy change is independent of the path due to enthalpy being a state function, which depends only on initial and final states.
