The bond enthalpy of a carbon-hydrogen  C-H  bond in methane  CH4  can be determined by dividing the energy required to break a mole of C-H bonds in methane by the number of C-H bonds in a molecule of methane.Methane has 4 C-H bonds in its structure. Given that the energy required to break a mole of C-H bonds in methane is 413 kJ/mol, we can calculate the bond enthalpy as follows:Bond enthalpy of C-H bond =  Energy required to break a mole of C-H bonds  /  Number of C-H bonds in a molecule of methane Bond enthalpy of C-H bond = 413 kJ/mol / 4Bond enthalpy of C-H bond = 103.25 kJ/molTherefore, the bond enthalpy of a carbon-hydrogen  C-H  bond in methane  CH4  is 103.25 kJ/mol.
