Re: Hess's Law
Hess's Law simply states that enthalpy changes are additive, so that in a multistep reaction, the change in enthalpies of each step can be added to find the total enthalpy change. Enthalpy is denoted by the constant H. If you are referring K as in the equilibrium constant, I don't think that that is involved in Hess's law.

Re: Hess's Law
Hess's law shows that you add enthalpy when you are combining equations of reactions.
I think you are misunderstanding how k changes when you combine equations of reactions. Enthalpy change is added, K is multiplied
