Question:

$\text{4.8 g of C(diamond) on complete combustion evolves 1584 kJ of heat. The standard heat of the formation of gaseous carbon is 725 kJ/mol. The energy required for the given process will be:}$ $(i) \text{ C(graphite)} \rightarrow \text{C(gas)}$ $(ii) \text{ C(diamond)} \rightarrow \text{C(gas)}$

Options:

1. $725, 727$
2. $727, 725$
3. $725, 723$
4. $\text{None of the above}$

Solution:

$\text{Hint: Graphite is thermodynamically more stable than diamond}$ $\text{Step 1: Analyze the given information}$ $\text{Given:}$ $\text{- 4.8 g of C(diamond) on complete combustion evolves 1584 kJ of heat}$ $\text{- Standard heat of formation of gaseous carbon is 725 kJ/mol}$ $\text{Step 2: Calculate the heat of combustion per mole of diamond}$ $\text{First, let's convert 4.8 g of carbon to moles:}$ $\text{Molar mass of carbon = 12 g/mol}$ $\text{Number of moles = } \frac{4.8 \text{ g}}{12 \text{ g/mol}} = 0.4 \text{ mol}$ $\text{Heat evolved from combustion of 0.4 mol of diamond = 1584 kJ}$ $\text{Heat evolved from combustion of 1 mol of diamond = } \frac{1584 \text{ kJ}}{0.4 \text{ mol}} = 3960 \text{ kJ/mol}$ $\text{Step 3: Define the relationships between different forms of carbon}$ $\text{We know that graphite is thermodynamically more stable than diamond. Let's define:}$ $\Delta H_1: \text{Energy required for C(graphite)} \rightarrow \text{C(gas)}$ $\Delta H_2: \text{Energy required for C(graphite)} \rightarrow \text{C(diamond)}$ $\Delta H_3: \text{Energy required for C(diamond)} \rightarrow \text{C(gas)}$ $\text{From the given information, } \Delta H_1 = 725 \text{ kJ/mol}$ $\text{Step 4: Establish the relationship between these energy changes}$ $\text{Based on Hess's Law, we can write:}$ $\Delta H_1 = \Delta H_2 + \Delta H_3$ $\text{Rearranging to find } \Delta H_3\text{:}$ $\Delta H_3 = \Delta H_1 - \Delta H_2$ $\text{Step 5: Calculate } \Delta H_2 \text{ using combustion data}$ $\text{We need to find the energy difference between graphite and diamond.}$ $\text{Let } \Delta H_c(\text{graphite}) \text{ be the heat of combustion of graphite and } \Delta H_c(\text{diamond}) \text{ be the heat of combustion of diamond.}$ $\text{From thermodynamic principles, we know:}$ $\Delta H_2 = \Delta H_c(\text{graphite}) - \Delta H_c(\text{diamond})$ $\text{The standard heat of combustion of graphite is approximately 393.5 kJ/mol, and we calculated that for diamond as 3960 kJ/mol.}$ $\text{However, these values don't seem correct for direct comparison. Let's use the fact that diamond is less stable than graphite, so the energy difference is approximately 2 kJ/mol.}$ $\Delta H_2 = -2 \text{ kJ/mol} \text{ (negative because energy is released when diamond converts to more stable graphite)}$ $\text{Step 6: Calculate } \Delta H_3$ $\Delta H_3 = \Delta H_1 - \Delta H_2 = 725 \text{ kJ/mol} - (-2 \text{ kJ/mol}) = 727 \text{ kJ/mol}$ $\text{Therefore, the energy required for:}$ $\text{(i) C(graphite)} \rightarrow \text{C(gas) is } 725 \text{ kJ/mol}$ $\text{(ii) C(diamond)} \rightarrow \text{C(gas) is } 727 \text{ kJ/mol}$ $\text{The answer is option 1: 725, 727}$
