"A diamond is forever" is one of the most successful advertising slogans of all time. But is it true? For the reaction shown below, calculate the standard free energy change at 298 K and determine whether or not a diamond is "forever."
C(diamond) ? C(graphite)
Data: ?Hf°(diamond) = 1.895 kJ/mol; S°(diamond) = 2.337 J mol¯1 K¯1; S°(graphite) = 5.740 J mol¯1K¯1.
