ess's law of constant heat summation:
The law states that the change in enthalpy for a reaction is the same whether the reaction takes place in one or a series of steps. The Hess's law can also be stated as the enthalpy change for a chemical reaction is the same regardless of the path by which the reaction occurs.
For example, consider following two paths for the preparation of methylene chloride
Path I :
CH4(g)+2Cl2(g)→CH2Cl2(g)+2HCl(g) ΔH10=−202.3kJ
Path II :
CH4(g)+Cl2(g)→CH3Cl(g)+HCl(g)ΔH20=−98.3kJ
CH3Cl(g)+Cl2(g)→CH2Cl2(g)+HCl(g)ΔH30=−104.0kJ
Adding two steps
CH4(g)+2Cl2(g)→CH2Cl2(g)+2HCl(g) ΔH20=−202.3kJ
Thus whether we follow path I or path II, the enthalpy change of the reaction is same. ΔH10=ΔH20+ΔH30=−202.3kJ
