8) C(diamond) → C(graphite)
delta G° = -2.9 kJ/molrxn
Which of the following best explains why the reaction represented above is not observed to occur at
room temperature?
(A) The rate of the reaction is extremely slow because of the relatively small value of AGº for
the reaction.
(B) The entropy of the system decreases because the carbon atoms in graphite are less ordered
than those in diamond.
(C) The reaction has an extremely large activation energy due to strong three-dimensional
bonding among carbon atoms in diamond.
(D) The reaction does not occur because it is not thermodynamically favorable.

The difference between the atomic number of an element and the element’s atomic mass is the number of ions.

Which of these is an intensive property of a substance

Gusing the milligrams of ascorbic acid you entered above, the ratio of total sample volume to aliquot volume, and the total milligrams of the vitamin c tablet that you dissolved, calculate the mass of ascorbic acid in the vitamin c tablet for each trial. do this by scaling up to find the amount (mg) of ascorbic acid in your 250 ml flask. enter your calculated mass of ascorbic acid in the vitamin c tablet, for each trial. be sure to enter your calculated mass in the corresponding order that you entered your milligrams of ascorbic acid. the milligrams of ascorbic acid you entered for entry #1 previously should correspond to the mass of ascorbic acid that you enter for entry #1 here.
