Calculate the bond energy per mole for breaking all the bonds in methane, CH4. Express your answer to four significant figures and include the appropriate units.

The energy that is essential to break one C-H bond is 414 kJ/mol. Since, there are four C-H bonds in CH4, the energy Δ HCH4 for breaking all the bonds is calculated as Δ HCH4 = 4 x bond energy of C-H bond. By multiplying the 4 with the 414 kJ/mol you can get the answer of 1656 kJ/mol CH4 molecules.
