The reaction that you will be investigating is the reaction that occurs when an alka-seltzer tablet is placed into a given amount of water.
c(graphite) + o2(g) → co2(g) + 94.05 kcal
c(diamond) + o2(g) → co2(g) + 94.50 kcal
what could you infer from the information given above?
-the enthalpy of co2is greater than the reactants.
-e2- e1is negative.
-graphite and diamond have equal enthalpy.
-diamond must have lower internal energy.
