Detailed Solution

Given data as

CH4(g)C(g)+4H(g)    ΔH1=4εCHC2H6(g)2C(g)+6H(g)    ΔH2=εCC+6εCH

From  ΔH1, we get   εCH=(360/4)kJmol1=90kJmol1

From  ΔH2, we get   εCH=ΔH26εCH=(6206×90)kJ1=80kJmol1

For a single C-H  bond, we have

E=εCHNA=80kJmol16.02×1023mol1=1.33×1022kJ=1.33×1014J

The longest wavelength required to break this bond is

λ=hcE=6.626×1034Js3×108ms11.33×1019J=1.495×106m=1.495×103nm
