The enthalpies of combustion of graphite and diamond are 393.5 kJ and 395.4 kJ respectively. Calculate the enthalp change accompanying the transformation of 1 mole of graphite into diamond.

Answer» Correct Answer - `1.9 kJ mol^(-1)`
Given `: (i) C(gr) + O_(2)(g) rarr CO(_(2)(g), DeltaH = - 393. 5 kJ mol^(-1)`
(ii) `C(dia) + O_(2)(g) rarr CO_(2)(g) , Delta H = -395kJ mol^(-1)`
Aim `: C (gr) rarr C (dia) , Delta H = ?`
Eqn. (i) - Eqn. (ii) gives the required result.
