Compute diffusion coefficients for the interdiffusion of carbon in both (a) α-iron (BCC) and (b) γ-iron (FCC) at 1000˚C. Assume that D0 for the interdiffusion of carbon in α-iron and in γ-iron are 1.1 × 10-6 and 2.3 × 10-5 m2/s, respectively, and that Qd are 80 and 148 kJ/mol, respectively.

Explanation:

According to Ficks first law, the relation between diffusion flux and diffusion coefficient is as follows.

             J =

where, D = function of temperature

         D =

where,   = pre-exponential independent of temperature

(a)  Substituting the given values into the above formula, we will calculate the value of D as follows.

                   D =

                      =

                      =

                      =

                     =

Therefore, diffusion coefficient for the inter-diffusion of carbon in -iron is .

(b)   For -iron we will calculate the value of D as follows.

                D =

                      =  

                      =

                      =

                      =

Therefore, diffusion coefficient for the inter-diffusion of carbon in -iron is .

  the   balanced   equation   for   reaction of   ca metal   with   o2 to   produce   cao   is as below

2 ca+ o2→ 2 cao2

  explanation

the reaction is   balanced     since the   number of atoms   in reactant side is   equal to   number of atoms   in   product side.   for   example   they   are 2   atom of   ca in   reactant   side   and   2   atoms of ca   in   the product side.

  the   process   is a   meet the   requirement   of   redox   reaction because :     calcium   is   oxidized   from   oxidation state 0   to 2+   while   oxygen   is reduced from   oxidation   state   0   to 2-
