Which law defines that if a chemical reaction can occur through multiple pathways, the net enthalpy change remains the same provided the initial and final states are the same? (IBA MDCAT Reconduct 2024)

Verified Answer & Explanation⌄

Correct Answer: B) Hess's Law

Concept Explanation

Hess’s law states that enthalpy is a state function, so the overall ΔH is the same whether a reaction occurs in one step or through several steps.
