The standard state Gibbs free energies of formation of C ( graphite) and C( diamond) at T=298 K are Delta_(f) G^(@) [C ( graphite) = 0 kJmol^(-1) Delta_(f) G^(@) [ C ( diamond) = 2. 9 kJ mol^(-1) The standard state means that the pressure should be 1 bar,and substance should be pure ata given temperature. The conversionofgraphite [C(graphite ) ]to diamond [ C ( diamond)] reducesits volumeby 2 xx 10^(-6) m^(2) mol^(-1). If C( graphite0 is convertedto C( diamond) isothermally at T= 298 K , the pressure at which C( graphtie) is in equilibriumwith C ( diamond) is [ Useful information : 1 J = 1kgm^(2) s^(-2), 1 Pa=1 kg m^(-1) s ^(-2), 1 "bar" = 10^(5) Pa]

Answer»

58001 bar
1450 bar
14501 bar
29001 bar

Solution :`dG= V dP -SdT`
For isothermal process at 298 K, `DeltaT= 0 :.S d T =0`
`:. dG =VdP`
Starting from initial pressureof1 bar, if required pressure is P bar, then
`int_(1)^(P)dG =int_(1)^(P) VdP `or`DELTAG= V [P]_(1)^(P)`
`[V=` constant becausesolids are involved]
`= V(P-1)`
or`G-G^(@) = V( P-1)`
`:. `For the process , C ( graphite)`rarr C( `DIAMOND)
`Delta_(r)G= [G_("diamond")^(@) +V_(d) (P-1)]-[G_("graphite")^(@) + V_(g)(P-1)]`
`= [ G_("diamond")^(@)-G_("graphite")^(@)]+ (P-1)(V_(d) -V_(g))`
WhenC ( graphite) and C ( diamond) are in equilibrium, `Delta_(r)G=0`
`0= ( 2.9 xx10^(3)-0)+( P-1) 10^(5) ( - 2 xx 10^(-6))`
or`P -1 = ( 2.9 xx 10^(3))/( 10^(5) xx ( 2 xx 10^(-6)))=14500 ` bar
or `P =14501 ` bar
