It has been demonstrated that buckminsterfullerene (C60), another allotrope of carbon (Section 2.3), may be converted into diamond at room temperature and 20,000 atmospheres pressure (about 2 GPa). The standard enthalpy of formation, fH, for buckminsterfullerene is 2320 kJ/mol at 298.2 K. a. Calculate rH for the conversion of C60 to diamond at standard state conditions and 2982 K. b. Assuming that the standard entropy per mole of carbon in both C60 and diamond is comparable (both about 23 J/K mol), is the conversion of C60 to diamond product-favoredat room temperature?
Billions of pounds of acetic acid are made each year, much of it by the reaction of methanol with carbon monoxide. (AssumeT= 298 K.)

A 220-ft3 sample of gas at standard temperature and pressure is compressed into a cylinder, where it exerts pressure of 2000 psi. Calculate the work (in J) performed when this gas expands isothermally against an opposing pressure of 1.0 atm. (The amount of work that can be done is equivalent to the destructive force of about 1/4 lb of dynamite, giving you an idea of how potentially destructive compressed gas cylinders can be if improperly handled!)
