The standard state Gibbs free energies of formation of C(graphite) and C(diamond) at T = 298K are
ΔƒG° [C(graphite)] = 0 kJ mol–1
ΔƒG° [C(diamond)] = 2.9 kJ mol–1
The standard state means that the pressure should be 1 bar, and substance should be pure at a given temperature. The conversion of graphite [C(graphite)] to diamond [C(diamond)] reduces its volume by 2 × 10–6m3mol–1. If C(graphite) is converted to C(diamond) isothermally at T = 298 K, the pressure at which C(graphite) is in equilibrium with C(diamond), is
