Detailed Solution

We are given that

C (graphite) +2H2(g)CH4(g);                      ΔfH298K=74.9kJmol1

To calculate the bond enthalpy of C-H bond, we require the enthalpy change of the reaction

 CH4C(g)+4H(g)

for which we must require the enthalpy change for the reactions

C (graphite) C(g);    ΔsubH(C)=?H2(g)2H(g);    ΔatHH2=?
