The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both statements provided: **Statement-1:** "Diamonds are forever is generally quoted for diamond as the rate of conversion of diamond to graphite at room condition is nearly zero." **Statement-2:** "At room condition, conversion of diamond into graphite is spontaneous." ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Statement-1:** - Diamonds are known for their durability and stability. The phrase "Diamonds are forever" suggests that diamonds do not easily convert into another form, which is true in practical terms. - The conversion of diamond to graphite does occur, but at room temperature and pressure, this conversion happens at an extremely slow rate, making it practically negligible. Thus, Statement-1 is correct. **Hint:** Consider the stability of diamonds and their conversion rate under normal conditions. 2. **Understanding Statement-2:** - The conversion of diamond to graphite is indeed thermodynamically favorable. This means that if we consider the Gibbs free energy change, the process is spontaneous under standard conditions. - However, spontaneity does not imply that the process will occur quickly or at a noticeable rate. The activation energy for the conversion is very high, which means that while the conversion is thermodynamically favorable, it does not happen readily at room temperature. Therefore, Statement-2 is also correct. **Hint:** Remember that spontaneity in thermodynamics refers to the favorability of a reaction, not the speed at which it occurs. 3. **Conclusion:** - Both statements are correct, but they are not directly related to each other in terms of causation. Statement-1 discusses the practical observation of diamonds' stability, while Statement-2 discusses the thermodynamic favorability of the conversion process. - Therefore, the correct answer is that both statements are correct, but Statement-2 does not explain Statement-1. **Final Answer:** Both statements are correct, but Statement-2 does not explain Statement-1.

To solve the question, we need to analyze both statements provided: **Statement-1:** "Diamonds are forever is generally quoted for diamond as the rate of conversion of diamond to graphite at room condition is nearly zero." **Statement-2:** "At room condition, conversion of diamond into graphite is spontaneous." ### Step-by-Step Solution: ...
