The thickness of oxide film is y at time t. If K1, K2 and K3 are the temperature dependent constants, the parabolic law of oxidation is given by __________________?

Correct answer: A. y2 = 2k1t + k2

  • A. y2 = 2k1t + k2
  • B. y = k1 ln (k2t + k3)
  • C. y = k1 t + k2
  • D. y = k1t3 + k2

Explanation

A parabolic oxidation law means the square of film thickness increases linearly with time, giving y² = 2k₁t + k₂ in the notation used. This behavior commonly indicates diffusion through the oxide film as the rate-controlling step.
