Question :
What is Hess's law of constant heat sublimation??
Explanation:
Hess's Law. Hess's Law of Constant Heat Summation (or just Hess's Law) states that regardless of the multiple stages or steps of a reaction, the total enthalpy change for the reaction is the sum of all changes. This law is a manifestation that enthalpy is a state function.

- Hess's law of constant sublimation
This law states that heat change accompanying a chemical reaction is same, weather the reaction takes place in a single step.
It means that value of heat change in a chemical reaction depends only upon the nature of initial reactants and final products and it is dependent on path.
For example, formation of CO2 from C in two different manners involved in total change of energy (heat)
Single step process :
C(s) + O2 (g) -----> CO2 (g)
Also ,
∆H1 for the above reaction is approximately -390 KJ/mol
Double step process :
(i) C(s) + 1/2 O2(g) ----> CO (g)
Also,
∆H for the above reaction is
approximately -110 KJ/mol
(ii) CO(g) + 1/2 O2 -----> CO2 (g)
Here,
∆H2 for above reaction is
approximately -280 KJ/mol
So, for two step process=>
∆H(total) = ∆H1 + ∆H2
= (- 110) + ( - 280)
= - 390 KJ / mol
So, for both the process ∆H value is same
