NEET Chemistry Hess's Law MCQ Question
Which of the following statements about Hess's Law is correct?
The change in enthalpy is dependent on the reaction pathway.
Reversing a chemical equation reverses the sign of the enthalpy change.
Hess's Law applies only to exothermic reactions.
The enthalpy change for a reaction occurs in only one step.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Hess's Law states that the change in enthalpy for a reaction is the same regardless of the pathway taken, and when a chemical equation is reversed, the value of ∆rH° is indeed reversed in sign.
