Given one mole of diamond vs one mole of graphite,
G S V
1 mol Graphite 0J 5.74 J/K 5.30 cm^3
1 mol Diamond 2900J 2.38 J/K 3.42 cm^3
(Assume S and V are constant over the temperatures and pressures we’re considering, which is a reasonable approximation.)
(a) At room temperature 300 K, at what pressure does diamond become more stable?
(b) At standard pressure 10^5 Pa, at what temperature does diamond become more stable?

Answer:

The pressure is [tex]P= - 6.39*10^8Pa[/tex]

The temperature is [tex]T =1218.63 K[/tex]

Explanation:

Generally Gibbs free energy is mathematically represented as

                   [tex]G = E + PV -TS[/tex]

   Where  E is the enthalpy

               PV is the pressure volume energy (i.e PV energy)

                S  is the entropy

                T is the temperature

For stability to occur the Gibbs free energy must be equal to zero

Considering Diamond

  So at temperature of  T = 300 K

         [tex]E + PV - TS = 0[/tex]

making P the subject

          [tex]P = \frac{TS-E}{V}[/tex]

Now substituting 300 K for T , 2900 J  for E ,

                              [tex]3.42cm^3 = \frac{3.42}{1*10^6} = 3.42*10^{-6}m^3[/tex] for V and [tex]2.38 J/K[/tex] for S

     [tex]P = \frac{(300 * 2.38)- 2900}{3.42*10^{-6}}[/tex]

         [tex]P= - 6.39*10^8Pa[/tex]

The negative sign signifies the direction of the pressure

Given that  [tex]P = 1*0^5Pa[/tex]

making T the subject

            [tex]T = \frac{PV+E}{S}[/tex]

Substituting into the equation

            [tex]T = \frac{1*10^5 * 3.42 *10^{-6}+2900}{2.38}[/tex]

                [tex]T =1218.63 K[/tex]

1  mol Graphite             0 J               5.74 J/K     5.30cm³

1 mol Diamond           2900 J          2.38 J/K     3.42cm³

Answer:

a) P = -639 MPa

b) T =1218.63 K

Explanation:

a) For stability of diamond, the gibb's free energy, G = 0 J

The Gibb's free energy is given by G = E + PV - TS

E + PV - TS = 0

where, E = enthalpy, P = pressure, S = entropy

E = 2900 J

T = 300 K

S = 2.38 J/K

V = 3.42 cm³ = 3.42 * 10⁻⁶ m³

2900 + P3.42 * 10⁻⁶  - 300(2.38) = 0

P3.42 * 10⁻⁶  = -2186

P = 2186/(3.42 * 10⁻⁶)

P = -639* 10⁶ Pa

P = -639 MPa

b) At P = 10⁵

E + PV - TS = 0

2900 + 10⁵(3.42 * 10⁻⁶) - T(2.38) = 0

T =1218.63 K
