Many chemical reactions require multiple steps in order to create their final products. Hess’s Law states that determining the enthalpy or heat of reaction (under constant pressure) is independent of the pathway taken to make those final products. 

Understanding Hess’s Law

Hess’s Law states that the enthalpy of reaction (ΔH­Rxn) is the sum of the enthalpy changes of its individual thermochemical steps and represents a state function. 

For example, the oxidation of acetylene is represented by the following equation: 

Thermochemical-Equation-ReactionThermochemical Equation (Oxidation of Acetylene)

In order to determine its enthalpy of reaction we use the enthalpies of its individual thermochemical steps. 

Multiple-stages-Germain-Hess-Constant-Heat-Summation-Diagram Thermochemical Steps (Oxidation of Acetylene)

Since each thermochemical step balances out to give the final equation we can add together the enthalpy values of ΔH1, ΔH2 and ΔH3 to obtain the ΔHRxn. 

Total-enthalpy-changeTotal Enthalpy Change

Application of Hess’s Law

There will be occasions when the individual thermochemical steps will not balance out to give the final overall equation. In these cases we must manipulate and alter them. 

PRACTICE 1: Find the ΔHRxn for the given overall chemical equation: 

Definition-Hess-Law-ProblemsThermochemical Step (Xenon Tetrafluoride)

The given thermochemical steps and ΔH values are

Final-State-Initial-StateThermochemical Steps (Xenon Tetrafluoride)

STEP 1: Start with XeF­2 from the overall chemical equation and locate where it is in the given thermochemical steps. If XeF2 does not match the XeF2­ in the overall chemical equation then we will need to manipulate the thermochemical step. 

Application-Hess-LawApplication of Hess's Law (XeF2)

In our thermochemical step XeF2 is listed as a product, but in our overall chemical equation XeF2 is a reactant. This means we must reverse the thermochemical step so that XeF2 will now be a reactant. 

Reversing-Thermochemical-stepReversing a thermochemical step

By reversing the thermochemical step we have XeF2 as a reactant just like in the overall chemical equation. Also notice that reversing a thermochemical step causes a reversal of the sign for its ΔH value. 


STEP 2: Continue to the next compound in the overall chemical equation, F2, and locate where it is in the given thermochemical steps. As we did before, if F2

does not match the F2­ in the overall chemical equation then we will need to manipulate the thermochemical step. 

Thermochemical Steps (F2)

We find that F2 is found in both thermochemical steps. Whenever a compound is found in more than one step then we ignore it for now and move onto our next compound in the overall chemical equation. 


STEP 3: Next we look at XeF4 from the overall chemical equation and locate where it is in the given thermochemical steps. If necessary, manipulate the thermochemical step. 

Thermochemical-step-XeF4Thermochemical Step (XeF4)

The XeF4­ ­in the thermochemical step matches with the XeF4 found in the overall chemical equation. This means we don’t have to do anything in this step. 


STEP 4: Now bring down all the thermochemical steps and cancel out the reaction intermediates to obtain the overall chemical equation. 

Cancel-Reaction-IntermediatesCanceling Reaction Intermediates

STEP 5: Canceling out the intermediates gives us the overall chemical equation and by adding the two ΔHo values of the thermochemical steps you can isolate the ΔHRxn. 

Enthalpy-Reaction-Chemical-EnergyCalculation of Enthalpy of Reaction

Now test your skills with a more complex Hess’s Law problem. 


PRACTICE 2: Find the ΔHRxn for the given overall chemical reaction: 

Thermochemical-Equation-CO2Thermochemical Equation (Carbon Dioxide)

The given thermochemical steps and ΔH values are

Thermochemical-Steps-CO2Thermochemical Steps (Carbon Dioxide)

STEP 1: Start with CO­2 from the overall chemical equation and locate where it is in the given thermochemical steps. If CO2 does not match the CO2­ in the overall chemical equation then we will need to manipulate the thermochemical step. 

Thermochemical-Step-CO2Thermochemical Step (Carbon Dioxide)In our thermochemical step CO2 is listed as a reactant like we need, but there are two moles of it. In the overall chemical equation we have only 1 mole of CO2 so we must divide the thermochemical equation by 2. 

Reversal-Thermochemical-StepReversal of a Thermochemical Step

Realize that dividing the thermochemical step by 2 also means you divide your original ΔH value of 3511.1 kJ by 2. Dividing 3511.1 kJ by 2 gives a new ΔH value of 1755.55 kJ. 

STEP 2: Continue to the next compound in the overall chemical equation, C (s), and locate where it is in the given thermochemical steps. If necessary, manipulate the thermochemical step. 

Thermochemical-Step-Carbon-solidThermochemical Step (Carbon solid)

In our thermochemical step we have two moles of C (s) listed products, but we need only 1 mole. So we divide the thermochemical step by 2.

Thermochemical-Step-Dividing-DivisionThermochemical Step (Dividing by 2)

Dividing by 2 means we also divide the ΔH value by 2. 

STEP 3: Next we search for O2 in the given thermochemical steps. If necessary, manipulate the thermochemical step. 

Thermochemical Steps (Oxygen Gas)We find O2 in more than one thermochemical step so we can ignore it for it. 

STEP 4: Now bring down all the thermochemical steps and cancel out the reaction intermediates to obtain the overall chemical equation.

Thermochemical-Steps-carbon-dioxide-CO2Thermochemical Steps (Carbon Dioxide)We must cancel out H2O and H2 because they are not found in the overall chemical equation. In order to cancel out the H2 and H­2O molecules we will need to reverse and multiple the first thermochemical step by 1.5 or 3/2. 

Thermochemical Step (Reversal & Multiplication)

Reversing the thermochemical step reverses the sign for the ΔH value and multiplying the thermochemical step by 1.5, which is the same as 3/2, means we multiply the ΔH value by 1.5. Now we bring down all the thermochemical steps again and finally cancel out all reaction intermediates. Canceling Reaction Intermediates (Carbon Dioxide)

STEP 5: Canceling out the intermediates gives us the overall chemical equation and by adding the three ΔHo values of the thermochemical steps you can isolate the ΔHRxn. 

Overall-Enthalpy-ChangeOverall Enthalpy Change

Hess’s Law serves as one component in our understanding of the branch of chemistry dealing with thermal and chemical energy called Thermochemistry. Under Thermochemistry, we examine the concepts of calorimetry, the conservation of energy, internal energy, formation equations, thermochemical equations and stoichiometry.

The United States gets 95% of its hydrogen gas by "steam reforming" methane, CH4(g). Another option is the “partial oxidation” of hydrocarbons to make carbon monoxide and hydrogen gas.

Now, determine   ΔH°  for the partial oxidation of octane with those assigned values. Choose from the choices below         C. Do you think the hydrogen produced provides more or less energy than you would get from the combustion of octane? Explain. 
Researchers at Purdue University have exploited the reactivity of a reaction to develop a novel type of rocket fuel consisting of aluminum nanoparticles dispersed in H2O(s). They nicknamed this propellant “ALICE” (get it? Al-ice) and noted that in addition to being environmentally friendly, ALICE could be produced on any extraterrestrial body that contains water. The recent discovery of water on Mars could draw new attention to this intriguing fuel. (International Journal of Aerospace Engineering, 2012) One can speculate that the reaction that causes ALICE to act as a propellant is: 2Al (s) + 3H2O(s) → Al2O3(s) + 3H2(g)   where the hydrogen gas is subsequently burned.  A.
