Diffusion Lattice Procedure

AI Thread Summary

Lattice diffusion refers to the process by which atoms or ions move through a crystalline lattice structure. This diffusion is heavily influenced by temperature, as increased thermal energy causes atoms to vibrate more vigorously, leading to greater interatomic spacing. As temperature rises, the increased kinetic energy allows atoms to overcome energy barriers more easily, facilitating their movement through the lattice. Consequently, higher temperatures typically result in enhanced diffusion rates. Understanding these principles is crucial for applications in materials science and solid-state physics, where lattice diffusion plays a significant role in processes such as alloying and sintering.

Hello,

I would like to know how the lattice diffusion is done & why is it temperature dependent?

I have tried googling Lattice diffusion several times, but I couldn't find any complete online reading/video...

Your contributions will be highly appreciated.

Lattice diffusion is a function of the interatomic spacing of whatever species you are examining. How will temperature affect interatomic spacing?

Thread 'Solubility of MgSO47H2O in water'

It seems like a simple enough question: what is the solubility of epsom salt in water at 20°C? A graph or table showing how it varies with temperature would be a bonus. But upon searching the internet I have been unable to determine this with confidence. Wikipedia gives the value of 113g/100ml. But other sources disagree and I can't find a definitive source for the information. I even asked chatgpt but it couldn't be sure either. I thought, naively, that this would be easy to look up without...

Thread 'Enthalpy - published values'

Do the published values of Enthalpy include the work done against a constant pressure, e.g., the atmosphere? (I am not a chemist). I am reviewing enthalpy and entropy as part of the statistical mechanics applied to transistors. I assume, from my reading, that the work done would mostly apply to reactions involving gasses.

Thread 'Why does having 8 valence electrons make an element inert?'

I was introduced to the Octet Rule recently and make me wonder, why does 8 valence electrons or a full p orbital always make an element inert? What is so special with a full p orbital? Like take Calcium for an example, its outer orbital is filled but its only the s orbital thats filled so its still reactive not so much as the Alkaline metals but still pretty reactive. Can someone explain it to me? Thanks!!
