Question
Thermodynamically, the most stable form of carbon is
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
