Re: Hess's Law
We can use Hess's law because enthalpy is a state function, which means we can sum the enthalpy values to find the total enthalpy of the new chemical equation.

Re: Hess's Law
Enthalpy is a state function (state values can be added/subtracted without worrying how they got there).

Re: Hess's Law
We're able to use Hess' Law because enthalpy is a state function. Since it's a state function, we're able to just add the enthalpies together.
Re: Hess's Law
Enthalpy is a state function therefore the total enthalpy can be summed up which allows Hess's law to be used.

Re: Hess's Law
We can use Hess's law because enthalpy is a state property, so it doesn't matter the path you take to get from an initial condition to a final condition, the change in enthalpy will always be the same.
