• U (internal energy) and H (enthalpy) are state functions. ●
Hess’s Law General

∆U = q + w (always) and ∆H = q (constant P). – Application of conservation of energy.
● ∆HRXN = the enthalpy change for a reaction as written. – You can calculate the overall ∆H by following any route
where you know the ∆H of each intermediate step.
● ∆Hfo = ∆HRXN of elements in their standard states to give
one mole of the compound in its standard state.
– ∆HRXN (A --> C) = ∆HRXN (A --> B)+ ∆HRXN (B --> C)
– ∆Hfo (elements in standard state) = 0.
– ∆HoRXN from ∆Hof is application of this:
reactants → elements → products

Hess’s law (conservation of energy) =>
