Solution

The correct option is D x2x1
Solution:- (B) x2x1
Given:-
C(graphite)+O2(g)CO2(g)ΔH=x1cal.....(1)
C(diamond)+O2(g)CO2(g)ΔH=x2cal
CO2(g)O2(g)+C(diamond)ΔH=x2cal.....(2)
Adding eqn(1)&(2), we have
C(graphite)+O2(g)+CO2(g)CO2(g)+O2(g)+C(diamond)ΔH=(x1)+(x2)cal
C(graphite)C(diamond)ΔH=x2x1cal
Hence the heat of transition of graphite into diamond is (x2x1)cal.
