We will use Fick's law of diffusivity for the question. All the numerical values have been aptly taken care of, along with dimensions. All the parts have been answered. Hope it helps.

Dissolved hydrogen embrittles &-iron (called hydrogen embrittlement) .
It does so by reducing the energy required to generate new surfaces, thus making any fracture easier to occur.
