The standard enthalpy of formation $(\Delta_f H^o_{298})$ for methane,$CH_4$ is $-74.9 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$. In order to calculate the average energy given out in the formation of a $C-H$ bond from this,it is necessary to know which one of the following?

  • A
    The dissociation energy of the hydrogen molecule,$H_2$
  • B
    The first four ionisation energies of carbon.
  • C
    The dissociation energy of $H_2$ and enthalpy of sublimation of carbon (graphite).
  • D
    The first four ionisation energies of carbon and electron affinity of hydrogen.
