    For the allotropic change represented by equation \[C(diamond)\to C(graphite)\]; the enthalpy change is \[\Delta H=-1.89\,kJ\]. If \[6\,g\] of diamond and \[6\,g\] of graphite are separately burnt to yield carbon dioxide, the heat liberated in the first case is             [KCET 1988; DPMT 2000]

    A)                 Less than in the second case by \[1.89\,kJ\]

    B)                 More than in the second case by \[1.89\,kJ\]

    C)                 Less than in the second case by \[11.34\,kJ\]

    D)                 More than in the second case by \[0.945\,kJ\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

           \[{{C}_{(\text{graphite})}}\to {{C}_{(\text{diamond})}},\Delta H=1.9\,kJ\]            \[{{C}_{(\text{graphite})}}+{{O}_{2}}\to C{{O}_{2}},\Delta H=-\Delta {{H}_{1}}\]            \[{{C}_{(\text{diamond})}}+{{O}_{2}}\to C{{O}_{2}},\,\Delta H=-\Delta {{H}_{2}}\]            \[(\,-\Delta {{H}_{1}})-(\,-\Delta {{H}_{2}})=1.9\,kJ\] or \[\Delta {{H}_{2}}=\Delta {{H}_{1}}+1.9\]                                 For combustion of \[6g,\Delta {{H}_{2}}>\Delta {{H}_{1}}\] by  \[1.9/2=0.95\,kJ.\]
