A diffusion couple similar to that shown in Figure 5.1a is prepared using two hypothetical metals A

Question:

A diffusion couple similar to that shown in Figure 5.1a is prepared using two hypothetical metals A and B. After a 30-h heat treatment at 1000 K (and subsequently cooling to room temperature) the concentration of A in B is 3.2 wt% at the 15.5-mm position within metal B. If another heat treatment is conducted on an identical diffusion couple, only at 800 K for 30 h, at what position will the composition be 3.2 wt% A? Assume that the preexponential and activation energy for the diffusion coefficient are 1.8 ? 10-5 m2/s and 152,000 J/mol, respectively.
