An FCC iron-carbon alloy initially containing 0.55 wt% C is exposed to an oxygen-rich and virtually carbon-free

Question:

An FCC iron-carbon alloy initially containing 0.55 wt% C is exposed to an oxygen-rich and virtually carbon-free atmosphere at 1325 K (1052°C). Under these circumstances the carbon diffuses from the alloy and reacts at the surface with the oxygen in the atmosphere-that is, the carbon concentration at the surface position is maintained essentially at 0 wt% C. (This process of carbon depletion is termed decarburization.) At what position will the carbon concentration be 0.25 wt% after a 10-h treatment? The value of D at 1325 K is 3.3 × 10-11 m2/s?
