Hess's law is based on

For the dissolution of $BaCl_2(s)$ and $BaCl_2 \cdot 2H_2O(s)$,the values of $\Delta H_{sol}$ are $-a \ kJ$ and $b \ kJ$ respectively. What is the value of $\Delta H_{hydration}$ for $BaCl_2(s)$?

The correct order of $\Delta_{f} H^{\circ}$ values of Diamond $(I)$, Graphite $(II)$, and Fullerene $(III)$ is:

The heat of neutralization of a strong acid by a strong base is nearly equal to

Find the enthalpy of formation of the $OH^-$ ion in $KJ$ at $25^\circ C$ from the following data:
$H_2O_{(l)} \to H^+_{(aq)} + OH^-_{(aq)} ; \Delta H = 57.32 \ KJ$
$H_{2(g)} + \frac{1}{2} O_{2(g)} \to H_2O_{(l)} ; \Delta H = -286.20 \ KJ$
