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 mol−1
Δf G∘ [C(diamond)]=2.9KJ mol−1
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 2×10−6m3 mol−1. 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
