Solution

The correct option is A + 1.9 kJ
Our aim is:
C(diamond)C(graphite);ΔH=?
The available data is :
(i) C(diamond)+O2(g)CO2(g);ΔH=393.5kJ
(ii) C(graphite)+O2(g)CO2(g);ΔH=395.4kJ
Subtracting equation (ii) from equation (i)
SubtractC(diamond)C(graphite)O;ΔH=(393.5+395.4)
Or
C(diamond)C(graphite);ΔH=+1.9kJ
