N2 - Reaction kinetics for CuO + La2O3→ La2CuO4 were quantified by X‐ray diffraction on quenched samples reacted in air. The rate was successfully modeled by the Valensi‐Carter equation, taking into account the particle size distribution. Kinetics followed diffusion‐limited rather than reaction‐limited behavior; the activation energy was 265 kJ/mol. Conductivity‐time behavior from in situ impedance spectra confirmed the reaction model; CuO rapidly coats the La2O3 particles and produces an La2CuO4 diffusion barrier. This is consistent with the basic assumptions of the Valensi‐Carter equation. It is believed that copper diffusion controls the rate of reaction.
