Athin sheet of iron 0.5 mm thick has a nitrogen concentration on one side of 0.5 kg/m^3 and a nitrogen concentration on the other side of 3.5kg/m^3 . the diffusion coefficient is 3.44x10^-15 m^2/s. what is the flux of nitrogen through the iron?

2.064× 10⁻¹¹ kg/m²s

Explanation:

The expression for the Fick's first law is shown below as:

Where, J is the diffusion flux.

D is the diffusion coefficient =

dC is the concentration change ( 3.5 - 0.5 kg/m³ = 3 kg/m³)

dx is the thickness = 0.5 mm = 0.0005 (As , 1 mm = 0.001 m )

Thus,

Magnitude of the flux = 2.064× 10⁻¹¹ kg/m²s

the old alchemists made significant contributions to science even though there starting premises were off a bit. their conclusions after failure would steer them into better directions for investigation. science is no more than close observation and the initial mistakes result in rethinking and retrying experiments.

plasma is the state of matter where the substance is ionized and has no definite shape or volume. the fact of being ionized makes the substance a good electrical conductor.
