For conversion `C` (graphite)`rarrC` (diamond) the `DeltaS` is

A

Zero

B

Positive

C

Negative

D

Unknown

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Conversion of graphite into diamond is an endothermic reaction. So, heat of diamond is higher than that of graphite. But `Delta S` would be negative for the conversion of graphite into diamond.

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

The enthalpies of combustion of C_(("graphite")) and C_(("diamond")) are -393.5 and -395.4kJ//mol respectively. The enthalpy of conversion of C_(("graphite")) to C_(("diamond")) in kJ/mol is:

Diamond And Graphite

The value of DeltaH_("transition") of C (graphite) rarr C (diamond) is 1.9 kJ/mol at 25^(@)C . Entropy of graphite is higher than entropy of diamond. This implies that :
