What is the key element that influences the properties of iron?
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
The key element that influence the properties of iron
Answer to Problem 1RQ
Alloying element influence the properties of iron
Explanation of Solution
Iron is found in the earth’s crust in large quantities. It is pure, ductile and has good magnetic properties but undergoes rusting easily. To improve the characteristics of iron, alloying elements are added to it so that it can be used commercially. Elements like manganese, sulfur, silicon and phosphorus are added to iron.

In Tikrit city, environmental engineers are monitoring the diffusion of CO2 in
the air as part of a pollution control study. The air-carbon dioxide mixture is
at 295 K and 202.6 kPa, and the concentration of CO2 at two planes, 3 mm
apart, is 25 vol.% at the first plane and 15 vol.% at the second plane. The
diffusivity of CO2 in air under these conditions is 8.2 × 106 m²/s. The study
aims to calculate the rate of CO2 transfer across these two planes in two
different scenarios:
1. What is the main engineering issue being addressed in this scenario?
2. Calculate the concentration of CO2 at the two planes in mol/m³ and
determine the rate of transfer of CO2 using the diffusivity of CO2 in air.
3. With an engineering solution approach to solve the issue, calculate the
rate of transfer of CO2 across the two planes assuming two scenarios:
equimolecular counter diffusion and diffusion through a stagnant air
layer.
4. Determine if there is a significant difference between the results of…
