Question

State whether the given statement is true or false.

For following processes $\Delta S$ is negative.

$C\left(diamond\right)⟶C\left(graphite\right)$

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

For the processes $C\left(diamond\right)\to C\left(graphite\right)$, $\Delta S$ is positive.

The C atoms in diamond are more tightly packed than the C atoms in graphite. So, when diamond changes to graphite, the randomness or disorder decreases and the entropy increases.

So, the given statement is false.
