How much heat and pressure does it take to make a diamond out of coal?

Since coal and diamond are both allotropes of carbon, your challenge will be to realign the molecules. The molecular structure of coal is substantially different from the structure of diamond.
The first step could be to heat the coal to a temperature that would melt it. Since coal does not melt, but transforms by sublimation -- changing from solid to gas back to solid with no liquid state involved -- you would be defeated in the first step.
Taking another tact, no amount of pressure will realign the molecules into the diamond pattern that you seek.

What is the link between coal and diamond?
Coal has never been at sufficient depth and temperature to be turned into diamond. Coal is simply fossilized plant remains that are high in the element carbon, of which the mineral diamond is also composed.
Could you crush a piece of coal under enormous pressure to make a diamond?
YES, but it would take a boxcar size piece of coal to make a tiny diamond.
What do you need to make a diamond?
Carbon, extreme pressure, and extreme heat.
Are diamonds made from coal?
yes coal is squeezed so hard to make a diamond
How a coal burning power stations works?
Coal is burned to make heat, and the heat is used to boil water, which produces steam, and the steam pressure is used to rotate a steam turbine, and the rotating turbine is used to generate electricity.
Is it true that if you squeeze sand really hard it will turn into a diamond?
no, you need to put graphite under extreme heat and pressure to make diamond. Another Answer: You are thinking of coal. When subjected to extreme pressure and intense heat, coal will eventually form diamond. Sand, when melted can turn into a glass.
How do you make a diamond on doodle god 2?
Coal+Pressure=Diamond
How do you make diamond on alchemy droid game?
Coal+pressure=uncut diamond+tool=diamond

Can you make diamond's out of coal?
I cannot. It takes geologic time, heat, and pressure to metamorphose coal into diamond(s). The related link below will guide you through one of the moderately challenging methods of artificially producing diamonds from coal.
How do you make pressure on alchemy game for ipod?
two earths, further, coal+pressure=uncut diamond, and cut that using tool then pressure + fosil = kerogen then pressure + kerogen = bitumen then pressure + bitumen = petroleum then pressure + petroleum = gasoline

How much force is required to make coal into diamonds?
Diamonds are not made from coal. Diamonds are formed deep within the earth's mantle under enormous pressure and extreme heat, from carbon.
