The Hess's law states that the enthalpy change of a reaction, the entropy change of a reaction, and the Gibbs free energy change of a reaction are all independent of the path taken.

The Le Chatelier's principle states that:

  1. If a change of condition is applied to a system in equilibrium, the system will shift in a direction that relieves the stress.

  2. If a change of condition is applied to a system in equilibrium, the system will shift in a direction that increases the stress.

  3. If a change of condition is applied to a system in equilibrium, the system will not shift.

  4. None of the above.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
