What is Hess‘s law please help

The correct answer is D. Hess's law states than the enthalpy of a reaction does not depend on the reaction path

Explanation:

In a chemical reaction, the enthalpy refers to the internal energy in a system and how this increases or decreases during the reaction. According to Hess's law proposed by German Hess in 1940, the enthalpy does not depend on the reaction path or the number of steps in a reaction. This means one reaction of only one step will have the same enthalpy that if the reaction occurs in several steps because the energy that requires all the process is the same. Thus, the "Hess's law states than the enthalpy of a reaction doe s not depend on the reaction path".

alkaline metals are lithium, sodium, rubidium, potassium, cesium and francium.

alkali metals have electronegativity from 0.7 to 1, lowest in periodic table of elements, which means that alkali metals (i group in periodic table) has positive oxidation number in compounds.

electronegativity is a chemical property that describes the tendency of an atom to attract a shared pair of electrons towards itself.

alkaline metals (far left in main group) have lowest ionizations energy and easy remove valence electrons,

for example, potassium is the alkali metal and has a single valence electron in the outer electron shell.

electron configuration of potassium is: ₁₉k 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶4s¹.

they can not exist alone in nature, because they are very reactive.

aquifers are bounded above and below by impermeable rock. the driving force of groundwater movement in confined aquifers is pressure, rather than gravity.
