Select the correct statement(s) from the following

A

Graphite is thermodynamically more unstable form of carbon

B

Graphite can be converted into diamond

C

Graphite is used as a moderator in nuclear reactors

D

Graphite is less reactive than diamond

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B, C

(BC) The heat of combustionof graphite - 94.052 kcal / mole and that of diamond is 94.505 kcal/mole. However, it can be converted into diamond at `16000^(@)C` by a pressure of 5,000 to 60,000 atm
