Chapter 3, Problem 3B.7E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The entropy of transition at $\text{2000}\text{K}$ from graphite to diamond has to be calculated.

Concept Information:

Entropy of fusion (at melting point): The change in entropy of per mole of substance at melting temperature is known as entropy of fusion.

${\text{Δ}}_{fusion}\text{S}\text{=}\frac{{\text{Δ}}_{fus}\text{H}\left({\text{T}}_{\text{f}}\right)}{{\text{T}}_{\text{f}}}$

Where,

${\text{Δ}}_{fusion}\text{S}$ is change in entropy of fusion,

${\text{Δ}}_{fus}\text{H}$ is change in enthalpy of fusion,

${\text{T}}_{\text{f}}$ is the melting temperature.
