Homework Statement
In a nanocrystalline material the grains grow from d0 = 5nm to d = 10nm over a period of t = 1h. The temperature is 500K and the material constant is k0 = 1/s.

The Attempt at a Solution
This should be quite simple, but I don't know if the diameters should be gived in SI units (meters) or nanometers. Since the material constant is 1/s, I assume the time should be given in seconds.
I tried using meters, and ended up with Q = 188 kJ/mol
