Same mass of diamond and graphite (both being carbon) are burnt in oxygen. Will the heat produced be same or different? Why?
Give reasons for the following:

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine whether the heat produced by burning the same mass of diamond and graphite in oxygen is the same or different, we can analyze the enthalpy changes involved in the combustion of both forms of carbon. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Combustion Process**: - When carbon (in the form of diamond or graphite) is burned in oxygen, it produces carbon dioxide (CO2). - The combustion reactions can be represented as: - For diamond: \( C_{(diamond)} + O_2 \rightarrow CO_2 + \text{heat} \) ...
