Answer:

α-iron (BCC) has faster diffusion rate because of lower values in activation energy and pre-exponential value.

Explanation:

Taking each parameters or data at a time, we can determine the values/a constant for each parameters in the diffusion coefficient equation.

For α-iron (BCC), the diffusion coefficient = pre-exponential value,Ao × e^( -Activation energy,AE)/gas constant,R × Temperature.

Converting the given Temperature, that is 900°C to Kelvin which is equals to 1173.15K.

For α-iron (BCC), the pre-exponential value, Ao = 1.1 × 10^-6, and the activation energy, AE = 87400.

Thus, we have that the diffusion coefficient = 1.1 × 10^-6 × e(-87400)/1173.15 × 8.31.

Diffusion coefficient for α-iron (BCC) = 1.41 × 10^-10 m^2/s.

Also, For the γ-iron (FCC), the pre-exponential value, Ao = 2.3 × 10^-5 and the activation energy, AE = 148,00.

From these values we can see that both the exponential value, Ao and the activation energy for γ-iron (FCC) are higher than that of α-iron (BCC).

Thus, the diffusion coefficient for the γ-iron (FCC) = 2.3 × 10^-5 × e ^-(14800)/8.31 × 1173.15.

Then, the diffusion coefficient for the γ-iron (FCC) = 5.87 × 10^-12 m2/s.

Therefore, there will be faster diffusion in α-iron (BCC) because of lower activation energy and vice versa.

Consider the generic chemical equation below. X + Ymc021-1.jpg W + Z Reactant X contains 199.3 J of chemical energy. Reactant Y
natima [27]

The reaction is:

X + Y → W + Z

Chemical energy of reactant X = 199.3 J = Ux

Chemical energy of reactant Y = 272.3 J = Uy

Chemical energy of Product W = 41.9 J = Uw

Chemical energy of Product Z = ? = Uz

Where reaction loses energy = 111.6 J = ΔU

By using the equation:

(Ux + Uy) – (Uw + Uz) = ΔU

Ux + Uy – Uw – Uz = ΔU

Uz = Ux + Uy – Uw –ΔU

Uz = 199.3 + 272.3 – 41.9 – 111.6

Uz = 318.1 J

Product Z must contain 318.1 J chemical energy.
