Question

Densities of diamond and graphite are 3.5 and 2.3 g/mL.
    C (diamond) ⇋ C (graphite)        ᐃrH = - 1.9 kJ/mole
favourable conditions for formation of diamond are

Options

A.high pressure and low temperature
B.low pressure and high temperature
C.high pressure and high temperature
D.low pressure and low temperature

Solution

High temperature will favour backward reaction as reaction is exothermic. While on increasing pressure reaction will shift in direction higher density.
