Assuming:

Upward → positive (+) value of ΔH

Downward → negative (-) value of ΔH

ΔHA = ΔHB + ΔHC 

ΔHA = ΔHB + ΔHC
-ΔHC           - ΔHC

ΔHB  = ΔHA - ΔHC

Problem Details

Match each chemical reaction with the correct diagram according to Hess' Law

ΔHC = -ΔHA + ΔHB 

ΔHB  = ΔHA  + ΔHC

ΔHA = ΔHB - ΔHC

ΔHB  = -ΔHA - ΔHC 

ΔHA = -ΔHB + ΔHC

ΔHC = ΔHA  + ΔHB 

ΔHB  = ΔHA - ΔHC 

ΔHC = -ΔHA - ΔHB
