The standard state Gibb's free energies of formation of  C (graphite) and C (diamond) at T=298 K are
ΔfGoC (graphite=0 kJ mol-1
ΔfGoC diamond=2.9 kJ mol-1
The standard state means that the pressure should be 1 bar, and substance should be pure at a given temperature. The conversion of graphite [C (graphite)] to diamond [C (diamond)] reduces its volume by 2×10-6 m3 mol-1 . If C (graphite) is converted to C (diamond) isothermally at T=298 K, the pressure at which C (graphite) is in equilibrium with C (diamond), is
[Useful information:
\(1 J=1 kg m ^2 s^{-2}, 1 Pa=1 kg m ^{-1} s^{-2} ;\) \(1 bar =10^5 Pa]\)

  1. A 14501 bar

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 14501 bar

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(C (\) graphite \() \rightarrow C (\) diamond \() ; \Delta G ^{ o }=\Delta_{ f } G _{\text {diamond }}^{ o }\)\(-\Delta_{ f } G _{\text {graphite }}^{ o }=2.9 kJ / mol\) at 1 bar As dGT=V.dP
