Determine magnitude of the heat of transformation of Cdiamond→C(graphite)(inkcal) from the following data: C(diomond)+O2(g)→CO2(g)...(i)(ΔH=−94.5kcal)C(graphite)+O2(g)→CO2(g)...(ii)(ΔH=−94.0kcal)
Open in App
Solution
Subtracting eq. (ii) from (i), the required equation is obtained. ΔHtransformation=−94.5(−94.0)=−94.5+94.0=−0.5kcal
