To use Hess Law, one simply uses the known equations and their respective ∆H values, rearranges them as necessary to arrive at the target equation (unknown ∆H) and then adds the ∆H values to obtain the value for the target equation. This is possible because Hess Law applies to state functions which are independent of the path.

Mendel Hess died in 1871.
Hess's law is important to thermochemistry because it allows us to anticipate enthalpy changes of reactions that are too slow to realistically record, such as rusting or reactions that are too fast. Hess's law, stating that the enthalpy is the same regardless of the pathway, allows us to take known enthalpy values and substituting them in to find your target reaction's enthalpy change.

Using sonar, oceanographers were able to show that the edges of the continental shelves matched.

Hess's law is based on the principle that the enthalpy change of a reaction is independent of the pathway taken. This means that the overall enthalpy change for a reaction is the same, regardless of the number of steps involved in the reaction as long as the initial and final conditions are the same.
