For some transformation having kinetics that obey the Avrami equation, the parameter n is known to have a value of 1.7. If, after 100 s, the reaction is 50% complete, how long (total time) will it take the transformation to go to 99% completion?

Respuesta :

Answer:

It would take approximately 305 s to go to 99% completion

Explanation:

Given that:

y = 50% = 0.5

n = 1.7

t = 100 s

We need to first find the parameter k from the equation below.

[tex]exp(-kt^n)=1-y[/tex]

taking the natural logarithm of both sides:

[tex]-kt^n=ln(1-y)\\kt^n=-ln(1-y)\\k=-\frac{ln(1-y)}{t^n}[/tex]

Substituting values:

[tex]k=-\frac{ln(1-y)}{t^n}= -\frac{ln(1-0.5)}{100^1.7} = 2.76*10^{-4}[/tex]

Also

[tex]t^n=-\frac{ln(1-y)}{k}\\t=\sqrt[n]{-\frac{ln(1-y)}{k}}[/tex]

Substituting values and y = 99% = 0.99

[tex]t=\sqrt[n]{-\frac{ln(1-y)}{k}}=\sqrt[1.7]{-\frac{ln(1-0.99)}{2.76*10^{-4}}}=304.6s[/tex]

∴ t ≅ 305 s

It would take approximately 305 s to go to 99% completion

It would take approximately 305 seconds to go to 99% completion.

Given:

  • y = 50% or 0.5
  • n = 1.7
  • t = 100 s

The equation will be:

→ [tex]exp(-kt^n) = 1-y[/tex]

By taking "log" both sides, we get

→ [tex]-kt^n = ln(1-y)[/tex]

        [tex]k = -\frac{ln(1-y)}{l^n}[/tex]

By substituting the values, we get

           [tex]= 2.76\times 10^{-4}[/tex]

Now,

→ [tex]t^n = - \frac{ln(1-y)}{k}[/tex]

    [tex]t = n\sqrt{-\frac{ln(1-y)}{k} }[/tex]

By substituting the value of "y", we get

       [tex]= \sqrt[1.7]{-\frac{ln(1-0.99)}{2.76\times 10^{-4}} }[/tex]

       [tex]= 304.6 \ s[/tex]

Thus the above answer is right.
