Q. Densities of diamond and graphite are $3.5$ and $2.3 \,g / ml$ respectively. Increase of pressure on the equilibrium $( C )_{(\text {diamond })} \rightleftharpoons( C )_{\text {(graphite })}$

Solution:

Increase in the pressure favours backward reaction as it is involved with decrease in volume.
