Why does Hess's law allow you to determine the enthalpy change of a reaction? A. It states how the equilibrium constant is related to the enthalpy change. B. It states that the change in enthalpy depends on the reaction pathway between the products and the reactants. C. It states that the change in enthalpy is independent of the pathway the reaction takes to get to the products. D. It states that the enthalpy of any reaction can be determined using a bomb calorimeter.
