AIPMT PRELIMS 2003 Chemistry Gibbs Free Energy MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Hard-Class 11

The densities of graphite and diamond at 298 K are 2.25 and 3.31 g cm⁻³, respectively. If the standard free energy difference (ΔG°) is equal to 1895 J mol⁻¹, the pressure at which graphite will be transformed into diamond at 298 K is -

A

9.92 × 10⁸ Pa

B

9.92 × 10⁷ Pa

C

9.92 × 10⁶ Pa

D

9.92 × 10⁵ Pa

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The pressure can be calculated using the formula ΔG = VΔP, where V is the volume change. Given the densities, the volume change can be calculated, and substituting the values gives the pressure as 9.92 × 10⁸ Pa.
