According to Hess's Law,the enthalpy change of a reaction depends on which of the following?

Which of the following acids will release the maximum amount of heat when completely neutralized by a strong base $NaOH$?

Which of the following reactions is endothermic?

"The quantity of heat which must be supplied to decompose a compound into its elements is equal to the heat evolved during the formation of that compound from the elements." This statement is known as

Consider the following reactions:
$(i)$ $H_{(aq)}^{+} + OH^{-}_{(aq)} \longrightarrow H_2O_{(l)}$,$\Delta H = -X_1 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$
$(ii)$ $H_{2_{(g)}} + \frac{1}{2} O_{2_{(g)}} \longrightarrow H_2O_{(l)}$,$\Delta H = -X_2 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$
$(iii)$ $CO_{2_{(g)}} + H_{2_{(g)}} \longrightarrow CO_{(g)} + H_2O_{(l)}$,$\Delta H = -X_3 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$
$(iv)$ $C_2H_{2_{(g)}} + \frac{5}{2} O_{2_{(g)}} \longrightarrow 2CO_{2_{(g)}} + H_2O_{(l)}$,$\Delta H = -X_4 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$
Enthalpy of formation of $H_2O_{(l)}$ is

Compounds with high heat of formation are less stable because
