Options
A.Diamond
B.Graphite
C.Fullerenes
D.Coal
Solution
Graphite is thermodynamically, the most stable allotrope of carbon. That is why
ᐃfHo (graphite) is taken as zero.
ᐃfHo (diamond) = + 1.90kJ mol-1
ᐃfHo (fullerene)= + 38.1 kJ mol-1
ᐃfHo (graphite) is taken as zero.
ᐃfHo (diamond) = + 1.90kJ mol-1
ᐃfHo (fullerene)= + 38.1 kJ mol-1
