Question

Densities of diamond and graphite are 3.5 and 2.5 g/cc respectively. Increase in pressure on the equilibrium,
Cdiamond) = graphite
(1) Favours backward reaction
(2) Favours forward reaction
(3) Has no effect
(4) Increases the reaction rate

Answer 1

Answer:

it favours backward reaction

Explanation:

because when diamond bonds breaks in layers of graphite and on increasing pressure it reduces breaking speed
