For the transition C (diamond) rarr C ...

For the transition
`C` (diamond) `rarr C` (graphite), `Delta H = - 1.5 kJ`
it follows that

A

diamond is more stable than graphite

B

graphite is more stable than diamond

C

both diamond and graphite are equally stabel

D

nothing can be predicted from this reaction

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Thermodynamical equation idicates that the reaction (transition) is exothermic, i.e., energy is released out when graphite is formed from diamond. Thus, graphite with lower energy content than diamond is relatively more stable.

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

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

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

Given that: i. C("graphite") +O_(2)(g) rarr CO_(2)(g), DeltaH =- 393.7 kJ ii. C("diamond") rarr C("graphite"), DeltaH =- 2.1 kJ a. Calculate DeltaH for buring of diamond of CO_(2) . b. Calculate the quantity of graphite that must be burnt to evolve 5000 kJ of heta.

C("diamond")toC("Graphite") , DeltaH=-ve . Then shows that

In the reaction for the transition of carbon in the diamond form to carbon in the graphite form, Delta H is -453.5 cal. This points out that
