Question
Synthetic diamonds are
made under conditions of high
temperature (2000 K) and high
pressure (1010 Pa; 105 atm) in
the presence of catalysts. Carbon’s phase diagram is useful
for finding the conditions for
formation of natural and synthetic diamonds. Along the
diamond-graphite line, the two
allotropes are in equilibrium.
(a) At point A, what is the sign of ∆H for the formation of diamond
from graphite? Explain. (b) Which allotrope is denser? Explain.
