As we learnt in 

Hess's Law -

The total amount of heat change in a chemical reaction is the same whether the reaction is carried  out in one or several steps by one or more methods.

- wherein

C_{(s)}+O_{2(g)}\rightarrow CO_{2(g)}

\Delta H= 393.5\, kj

C_{(s)}+\frac{1}{2}O_{2(g)}\rightarrow CO_{(g)}

\Delta H_{1}= 110.5\, kj

CO_{(g)}+\frac{1}{2}O_{2(g)}\rightarrow CO_{2(g)}

\Delta H_{2}= 283.0\, kj

\Delta H= \Delta H_{1}+\Delta H_{2}

 

 Hess's law of constant heat summation states that regardless of the multiple stages or intermediate steps of reaction that total enthalpy change for the reaction is the sum of all changes.

The enthalpy of a chemical process is independent of the path taken from the initial and the final state.
