Question

4. Classic saturday morning cartoons often showed Superman squeezing a lump of coal (graphite) and converting it into diamond. Given two values of standard entropy, So of 5.6 J/K.mole and 2.38 J/K.mole, which value belongs to C(graphite) and which one is for C(diamond)?

a. So graphite = 5.6 J/K.mole and So diamond = 2.38 J/K.mole

b. So graphite = 2.38 J/K.mole and So diamond = 5.6 J/K.mole

c. There isn’t enough information to make this determination

please explain HOW you got the answer the best you can!

Explanation / Answer

Answer:-

Standard entropy is used to define the randomness or disorderness of any substance,i.e., gases ,liquids and solids.

So, the substance with high degree od disorderness will have high standard entropy and the substance itself is called amporphus while the substance which is well ordered will have low standard entropy.

So, C(graphite) is less ordered than that of C(daimond).

Graphite = 5.6 J/K.mol

Diamond = 2.38 J/K.mol
