Given that $\mathrm{C}_{(\mathrm{g})}+4 \mathrm{H}_{(\mathrm{g})} \longrightarrow \mathrm{CH}_{4(\mathrm{~g})} \Delta \mathrm{H}^{\circ}=-1665 \mathrm{~kJ}$ What is bond energy per mole of $\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{H}$ bond ?
  1. $416 \mathrm{~kJ} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$
  2. $\quad-416 \mathrm{~kJ} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$
  3. $832.5 \mathrm{~kJ} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$
  4. $\quad-832.5 \mathrm{~kJ} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$

Solution

In the given reaction, there are $4 \mathrm{C}-\mathrm{H}$ bonds formed per mole of $\mathrm{CH}_4$.
Bond energy per mole of $\begin{aligned} \mathrm{fCH}_4 & =\frac{-(-1665 \mathrm{~kJ})}{4} \\ & =416.25 \mathrm{~kJ} \end{aligned}$
