Hess's Law
The total enthalpy change of a reaction is independent with the route of which the chemical reaction takes place as long as the initial and final conditions are the same

Le Chatlier's Principle
if the system of equilibrium is disturbed, the position of equilibrium will shift in the direction that nullify/ opposes the cause of the disturbance
