Carbon has three allotropes: graphite, diamond, and a metallic form called solid III. Graphite is the stable form of 298 K and 1 atm pressure and at temperatures less than 1440 K. Increasing the pressure on the graphite turns graphite into diamond and then the diamond solid It causes it to transform into III. When applied to graphite at 298 K, graphite to diamond Calculate the pressure that causes the conversion. H298K, (graphite) - H298K, (graphite) = -1900J S298K, (graphite) = 5.73 J / K S298K, (diamond) = 2.43 J / K ,Density of graphite = 2.22 g / cm3 Density of diamond = 3.515 g / cm3
