Question

Kindly solve and provide the answer with detailed step by step for the following sum

Tired of studying thermo, you come up with the idea of becoming rich by manufacturing diamond from graphite. To do this process at 25 C requires increasing the pressure until graphite and diamond are in equilibrium. The following data are available at 25 C:

Δg(25 C, 1 atm) = g, diamond-g, graphite = 2866 J/mol

ρdiamondρdiamond = 3.51 g/cm33

ρgraphiteρgraphite = 2.26 g/cm33.

Estimate the pressure at which these two forms of carbon are in equilibrium at 25 C.

Thank You
