Question

The standard state Gibbs free energies of formation of C(graphite) and C(diamond) at T = 298K are
Δf G [C(graphite)]=0 kJ mol1
Δf G [C(diamond)]=2.9KJ mol1
The standard state means that the pressure should be 1 bar, and substance should be pure at a given temperature. The conversion of graphite [C(graphite)] to diamond [C(diamond)] reduces its volume by 2×106m3 mol1. If C(graphite) is converted to C(diamond) isothermally at T = 298K, the pressure at which C(graphite) is in equilibrium with C(diamond), is
[Useful information: 1J=1kg m2 s2],
1 Pa=1 kgm1s2; 1 bar=105 Pa

Solution

The correct option is C 14501 bar
G=HTS=U+pVTS
dG=dU+pdV+VdpTdSSdT=VdpSdT
[ dU+pdV=dq=TdS]
dG=Vdp if isothermal process (dT = 0)
ΔG=vΔp
Now taking initial state as standard state
GgrGgr=VgrΔp . . . . .(i)
GdGd=VdΔP . . . . . .(ii)
Now (iii) – (i) gives,
(VdVgr)Δp=GdGgr+(Ggrgd)
At equilibrium, GdGgr
(VgrVd)Δp=GdGgr=2.9×103J
Δp=2.9×1032×106Pa=292×108Pa=290002bar
p=p0+290002=1+290002=14501 bar
