Exercise
Tired of studying Thermo, you come up with the idea of becoming
rich by manufacturing diamond from graphite.
To do this process at 25
o
C requires increasing the pressure until
graphite and diamond are in equilibrium.
The following data are available at 25
o
C:
g(25
o
C, 1 atm) = g
diamond

= 2866 [J/mol]

diamond

graphite
= 2.26 [g/cm

Estimate the pressure at which these two forms of carbon are in
equilibrium at 25

We are assuming equilibrium among all components; therefore, each component has (p-1)
restrictions due to the equality of chemical potentials.
For c components, the number of additional constraints is c(p-1)
Thus, = p (c - 1) + 2 c (p - 1) = c p + 2 Gibbs Phase Rule
