CAIE A-Level Chemistry AS 3.4.3 Terms Questions question 1

[Maximum number: 1]

Which equation represents an enthalpy change that is the average bond energy of the C-H bond in methane?

A

14C(g)+H(g)14CH4( g)\frac{1}{4} \mathrm{C}(\mathrm{g})+\mathrm{H}(\mathrm{g}) \rightarrow \frac{1}{4} \mathrm{CH}_{4}(\mathrm{~g})

B

14CH4( g)14C(g)+H(g)\frac{1}{4} \mathrm{CH}_{4}(\mathrm{~g}) \rightarrow \frac{1}{4} \mathrm{C}(\mathrm{g})+\mathrm{H}(\mathrm{g})

C

CH4( g)C(g)+4H(g)\mathrm{CH}_{4}(\mathrm{~g}) \rightarrow \mathrm{C}(\mathrm{g})+4 \mathrm{H}(\mathrm{g})

D

CH4( g)CH3( g)+H(g)\mathrm{CH}_{4}(\mathrm{~g}) \rightarrow \mathrm{CH}_{3}(\mathrm{~g})+\mathrm{H}(\mathrm{g})
