For the following reaction
Cdiamond + O2 → CO2(g); ΔH = −94.3kcal
Cgraphite + O2 → CO2(g);ΔH = −97.6kcal
The heat required to change 1 g of Cdiamond → Cgraphite is
0.275 kcal
Cdiamond + O2 → CO2(g);ΔH = −94.3 kcal
Cgraphite + O2 → CO2(g);ΔH = −97.6 kcal
Cdiamond → Cgraphite ΔH = 3.3 kcal
Heat required to convert 12 gram diamond to graphite = 3.3
∴ Heat required to convert 1 gram diamond to graphite = 3.312 = 0.275
