Use other available reaction ΔH values to “build up” the desired reaction. Then combine them into a final value of ΔH for this reaction.

Explanation:

Product Enthalpies minus Reactant Enthalpies equals reaction enthalpy.
CH4+4Cl2CCl4+4HCl

Compound ΔHf0 kJ/mol
CH4 -74.81
CCl4(g) -135.4
HCl (g) -92.31
Cl2(g) 0

ΔHf0 kJ/mol
CCl4+4HCl - (CH4+4Cl2)
-135.4 + 4(-92.31) - (-74.81 + 4(0))
-135.4 + 4(-92.31) + 74.81 = -429.83 kJ/mol
