Given that the specific volume of graphite and diamonds are 0.444 cm3/g
and 0.284 cm3/g, respectively, and the standard formation free energy of carbon
diamond is 2.868 kJ/mol at 25oC, determine the pressure above which the
transformation of graphite into diamond becomes spontaneous at 25°C. Assume that
these materials are incompressible.
