Consider the following data:
\( \Delta_{\text{f}}\text{H}^{\ominus} (\text{methane}, \text{g}) = -\text{X} \text{ kJ mol}^{-1} \)
Enthalpy of sublimation of graphite = \( y \, \text{kJ mol}^{-1} \)
Dissociation enthalpy of \( \text{H}_{2} \) = \( z \, \text{kJ mol}^{-1} \)
The bond enthalpy of C–H bond is given by:
