- State the Hess's Law and its applications(Solved)
State the Hess's Law and its applications.
Hess's law States that if a chemical change can be made to take place in two or more steps, the amount of the total heat change is the same no matter which method is used.
Its applications are:
1.Determination of heat of formation of substances which cannot be measured experimentally. Substances like methane,carbon dioxide and benzene cannot be prepared by uniting there elements. Therefore it is not possible to measure the heat of formation of certain compound directly.
2.Determination of heat of transition. The heat of transition from one allotropic form to another can also be calculated with the help of Hess's law.
3.Determination of heat of various reaction. By using Hess's law we can calculate enthalpies of many reactions which can not be measured directly. For example the enthalpy of dimerization of nitrogen dioxide.
