just refer to the definations of heat enthalipies of transformation and other enthalipies to get the answer.
u also need to use hess law for this question

Free energy = useful work done∆G = p∆v1895= P(v2 - v1)1895= P(12/2.25 - 12/3.31) × 10^-6(m) × . 10^-3(kg) .......v=m/d1895= P(5.33 - 3.62) × 10^-91895= P × 1.71 × 10^-9 P= 1895/1.71×10^-9 P= 1108 × 10^9 P= 1.1 × 10^6

Dear student,
Please find the solution to your problem below.
 
Volume of Graphite, Vg = 12/2.25 cm3 = 12/2.25 x 10-3 L
Volume of diamond, Vd = 12/3.31 cm3 = 12/3.31 x 10-3 L
We know ΔG = – PΔV = – P x (Vg – Vd) x 101.3     [ Since, 1 L-atm = 101.3 J]
Hence, 1895 = – ( – 1.71 x 10-3) x 101.3 x P
on simplifying we get, P = 10.93 x 103 atm = 11.08 x 108 Pa
 
Hope it helps.
Thanks and regards,
