If the enthalpy of combustion of diamond and graphite are – 395.4 mol-1 and -393.6kJ mol-1. What is the enthalpy change for the C (graphite) → C (diamond)?

Answer»

C(diamond) + O2(g) → CO2(g) ΔH = -395.4 kJmol-1 …(1) 

C(graphite) + O2(g) → CO2(g) ΔH = -393.6 kJmol-1 … (2) 

C(graphite) → C(diamond ) substracting (1) from (2), we get 

C(graphite) → C(diamond) ΔH = -393.6 kJ – (-395.4 kJ), ΔH = +1.8 kJ mol-1
