One gram-atom of graphite and one gram-atom of diamond were separately

1.	One gram-atom of graphite and one gram-atom of diamond were separately burnt to `CO_(2)` . The amount of heat liberated was `393.5KJ` and `305.4KJ` respectively. It is apparent thatA. graphite has greater affinity for oxygenB. diamond has greater affinity for oxygenC. graphite is stabler than diamondD. diamond is stabler than graphite.
Answer» Correct Answer - C Since graphite on combustion give less heat, it means graphite has less heat content and is more stable.
