Standard enthalpy?

The mean bond enthalpy for the C - H bond is 412 kJ mol-1. Εstimate the standard enthalpy of methane, gas.


ΔHf0[C,g] = 717 kJ mol-1 and ΔH[H-H] = 436 kJ mol-1.

Standard enthalpy?
Well simply, Methane gas (CH4) has four C-H bonds. If there is 412 kJ of energy in each, there is 412 x 4 over all. (1648 kJ mol-1)
