Question

Statement 1: Enthalpy of graphite is lower than that of diamond
Statement 2: Entropy of graphite is lower than that of diamond

• A. Statement 1 is True, Statement 2 is True; Statement 2 is correct explanation for Statement 1
• B. Statement 1 is True, Statement 2 is True; Statement 2 is not correct explanation for Statement 1
• C. Statement 1 is True, Statement 2 is False
• D. Statement 1 is False, Statement 2 is True

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Graphite is most stable state of carbon, hence its energy is lower than that of diamond and entropy of graphite is also lower than that of diamond
