Although graphite is thermodynamically most stable allotrope of Carbon but it has more entropy than diamond Because:

The equations representing the combustion of carbon and carbon monoxide are : C(s) + O_(2)(g) to CO_(2)(g) DeltaH = -394 (kJ)/(mol) CO(s) + 1/2 O_(2)(g) to CO_(2)(g) DeltaH = -284.5 (kJ)/(mol) the heat of formation of 1 mol of CO(g) is :

Thermodynamically the most stable form of carbon is (a) diamond , (b) graphite (c) fullerenes , (d) coal

The enthalpy change for the following process are listed below : (a) Cl_(2(g)) rarr 2Cl_((g)), DeltaH=242.3kJ mol^(-1) (b) I_(2(g))rarr 2I_((g)), DeltaH=151.0kJ mol^(-1) (c) ICl_((g)) rarr I_((g))+Cl_((g)), DeltaH=211.3kJ mol^(-1) (d) I_(2(s)) rarr I_(2(g)), DeltaH=62.76kJ mol^(-1) If standard state of iodine and chloride are I_(2(s)) and Cl_(2(g)) , the standard enthalpy of formation for ICl_((g)) is :

Using the data provided, calculate the multiple bond energy ( kJ "mol"^(-1) ) of a C equiv C bond in C_(2)H_(2) .That energy is (take the bond enrgy of a C-H bond as 350 kJ "mol"^(-1) ): 2C(s) + H_(2)(g) to C_(2)H_(2)(g), DeltaH = 225 kJ "mol"^(-1) 2C(s) to 2C(g), DeltaH = 1410 kJ "mol"^(-1) H_(2)(g) to 2H(g), DeltaH = 330 kJ "mol"^(-1)

For the transition C_("(diamond)") rarr C_("(graphite)"), DeltaH=-1.5 kJ . It follows that
