Step 1

First, we need to find the change in enthalpy (ΔH) for the reaction. Since there are 2 moles of carbon in the reaction, we can calculate ΔH as follows: ΔH = 2 * 1.9 kJ/mol = 3.8 kJ/mol Show more…

Given the reaction of Diamond converting to graphite 2C (s, diamond) -> 2C (s, graphite), determine ΔG at 298 K and determine if this reaction is spontaneous or not. What does this say about the rate of the reaction? (1-2 sentences). ΔHf° (C, diamond) = 1.9 kJ/mol, S° (C, diamond) = 2.38 J/(mol-K), S° (C, graphite) = 5.74 J/(mol-K).
