The forward reaction of C (diamond) -> C (graphite) is spontaneous at 298 K

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

Gibbs free energy is the maximum possible work given by chemical reactions at constant pressure and temperature. Gibbs free energy can be used to determine the spontaneity of a reaction

If the Gibbs free energy value is <0 (negative) then the chemical reaction occurs spontaneously. If the change in free energy is zero, then the chemical reaction is at equilibrium, if it is> 0, the process is not spontaneous

Free energy of reaction (G) is the sum of its enthalpy (H) plus the product of the temperature and the entropy (S) of the system

Can be formulated: (at any temperature)

 \large{\boxed{\bold{\Delta G=\Delta H-T.\Delta S}}}

or at (25 Celsius / 298 K, 1 atm = standard)

ΔG ° reaction = ΔG ° f (products) - ΔG ° f (reactants)

Under standard conditions:

∆G ° = ∆H ° - T∆S °

The value of °H ° can be calculated from the change in enthalpy of standard formation:

∆H ° (reaction) = ∑H ° (product) - ∑ H ° (reagent)

The value of ΔS ° can be calculated from standard entropy data

∆S ° (reaction) = ∑S ° (product) - ∑ S ° (reagent)

If we look at the standard free Gibbs energy for the transformation from diamond to graphite at 298 K:

∆G ° rxn = -2.90 kJ

then a negative value indicates that reaction

C (diamond) -> C (graphite) occurs spontaneously (forward reaction)

The gibbs free energy of the reaction of diamond to graphite is equal to -2.90 kJ/mol. The free energy is negative which means that the reaction is spontaneous. Therefore, the forward reaction is favored. Hope this helps. Have a nice day.

Which is the correct Lewis dot structure of C2H2
denpristay [2]

The correct answer is A

The octet rule state that all main group elements form bonds such that they achieve a noble gas configuration with eight valence electrons. In this case carbon has 4 electrons in its outermost shell  and requires 4 more electrons to achieve an octet. Hydrogen is an exception to the octet rule and it only requires two electrons to achieve an octet. All the other options have C and H  forming bonds that do not lead to a noble gas configuration.
