Chapter 7, Problem 7.47AP

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Diamonds spontaneously turn into graphite or not have to be determined using the given information.

Concept Introduction:

Free energy change (ΔG): Change in the free energy takes place while reactants convert to product.

Spontaneous reactions releases the free energy and has ΔG<0 (exergonic)

Nonspontaneous reactions absorbs the free energy and has ΔG>0 (endergonic)

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason, why the conversion of diamonds into graphite takes thousands of years has to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Free energy change (ΔG): Change in the free energy takes place while reactants convert to product.

Spontaneous reactions releases the free energy and has ΔG<0 (exergonic)

Nonspontaneous reactions absorbs the free energy and has ΔG>0 (endergonic)

Activation energy: It is defined as the minimum energy required by the reacting species in order to undergo chemical reaction. Activation energy can be represented as Ea. The unit of activation energy is kJ/mol
