Densities of diamond and graphite are 3.5 and 2.5 g/cc respectively. Increase in pressure on the equilibrium, Cdiamond) = graphite (1) Favours backward reaction (2) Favours forward reaction (3) Has no effect (4) Increases the reaction rate

Densities of diamond and graphite are 3.5 and 2.5 g/cc respectively. I

1.	Densities of diamond and graphite are 3.5 and 2.5 g/cc respectively. Increase in pressure on the equilibrium, Cdiamond) = graphite (1) Favours backward reaction (2) Favours forward reaction (3) Has no effect (4) Increases the reaction rate
Answer» it FAVOURS backward REACTION EXPLANATION:because when diamond bonds breaks in layers of graphite and on INCREASING pressure it reduces breaking speed
