At 500 kilobar pressure density of diamond and graphite are 3g/cc and 2g/cc respectively, at certain temperature 'T'. Find the value of |ΔH−ΔU|(kJ/mole) for the conversion of 1 mole of graphite to 1 mole of diamond at temperature 'T'.

Solution
C (graphite) → C (diamond) ΔH=ΔU+P2V2−P1V1 ΔH−ΔU=(500×103×105N/m2)(122−123)×10−6=500×2×103×105×10−6 =100kJ/mole
