One gram-atom of graohite and one gram-atom of diamond were separately burnt to CO_(2) . The amount of heat liberated was 393.5KJ and 305.4KJ respectivaly. It is apparent that

Calculate the enthalpy change accompanying the transformation of C(graphite) to C(diamond). Given that the enthalpies of combustion of graphite and diamond are 393.5 and 395.4 KJ respectively

For the change C (diamond) rarr C(graphite) , Delta H=-1.89 KJ, if 6 g of diamond and 6g of graphite are seperately burnt to yield CO_(2) the heat liberated in first case is :

For the change, C_("diamond") to C_("graphite"), DeltaH = -1.89 kJ , if 6g of diamond and 6g of graphite are separately burnt to yield CO_2 , the heat liberated in first case is

For the allotropic change represented by the equation C (graphit) rarr C (diamond), Delta H = 1.9 kJ . If 6g of diamond and 6 g of graphite are separately burnt to yield CO_(2) , the enthalpy liberated in first case is
