A

Hess's Law states that the enthalpy change of a reaction is directly proportional to the temperature.

 

B

Hess's Law allows the calculation of the enthalpy change of a reaction based on bond energies.

 

C

Hess's Law states that the enthalpy change of a reaction is independent of the reaction pathway.

 

D

Correct Option: C

Hess's Law is a fundamental principle in thermodynamics that states the enthalpy change of a reaction is independent of the reaction pathway taken from reactants to products. In other words, the overall enthalpy change of a reaction remains the same, regardless of the intermediate steps involved in the reaction.
