Answer the question which carries 6 scores (6 x 2 = 12)

15. The enthalpy change in a process is the same, whether the process is carried out in a Single step or in
several steps. [6]
a. Identify the law stated here.
b. Calculate the enthalpy of formation of CH4 from the following data:
i. C(s) + O2(g)  CO2(g)
 H = -393.7 kJ/mol
ii. H2g + 12 O2(g)  H2O(1)

 H = -285.8 kJ/mol
