What property of argon is uses in light bulbs?

2 answers:

8 0

The filament of the light bulb will get very hot. This will encourage a chemical reaction with most gases that are surrounding that filament - and the result is that the filament burns out. If the filament is in air, it combines with the carbon of carbon dioxide in the air, and the filament disintegrates. But argon is an inert gas - almost nothing reacts with it. So the filament takes a very long time (theoretically infinity) to burn out. But the bulb cannot contain 100% argon: 99.9% is typical; the remaining 0.1% being air. The bulb manufacturers can control the 'life' of a bulb, based on that principle: they do not want their bulbs to last forever!

1. What did Henri Becquerel discover about radiation emitted from uranium salts?

Dmitriy789 [7]

Explanation:

When Henri Becquerel investigated the newly discovered X-rays in 1896, it led to studies of how uranium salts are affected by light. By accident, he discovered that uranium salts spontaneously emit a penetrating radiation that can be registered on a photographic plate.

The coolant in automobiles is often a 50/50 % by volume mixture of ethylene glycol, C2H6O2, and water. At 20°C, the density of e

Misha Larkins [42]

Explanation:

Let the volume of the solution be 100 ml.

As the volume of glycol = 50 = volume of water

Hence, the number of moles of glycol = $\frac{mass}{molar mass}$

= $\frac{density \times volume}{molar mass}$

= $\frac{1.1088 \times 50}{62 g/mol}$

= 0.894 mol

Hence, number of moles of water = $\frac{50 \times 0.998}{18}$

= 2.77

As glycol is dissolved in water.

So, the molality = $0.894 \times \frac{1000}{49.92}$

= 17.9

Therefore, the expected freezing point = $-1.86 \times 17.9$

= $-33.31^{o}C$

Thus, we can conclude that the expected freezing point is $-33.31^{o}C$ .

Aluminium sulfate hydrate al2(so4)3.xh2o contains 13.63% al by mass. calculate x, that is, the number of water molecules associa

Advocard [28]

MAl₂(SO₄)₃·xH₂O:
(mAl×2) + (mS×3) + (mO×12) + (mH₂O×x)
(27×2)+(32×3)+(16×12)+(x×18) = 342 + 18x [g]
mAl₂: 27×2 = 54 [g]

54g ---------- 13,63%
342+18x ---- 100%
0,1363(342+18x) = 54
46,6146 + 2,4534x = 54
2,4534x = 7,3854
x ≈ 3

>>> Al₂(SO₄)₃·3H₂O <<<<

Calculate the molar mass of cacl2

kirza4 [7]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 110.98 \ g/mol}}$

Explanation:

The molar mass is the mass of a substance in grams per mole.

To find it, add the mass of each element in the compound. These masses can be found on the Periodic Table.

The compound given is:

$CaCl_2$

The compound has 1 Ca (calcium) and 2 Cl (chlorine).

Mass of Calcium

The molar mass of calcium is 40.08 g/mol
There is only one atom of Calcium in CaCl₂, so the number above is what we will use.

Mass of Chlorine

The molar mass of chlorine is 35.45 g/mol
There are two atoms of chlorine in CaCl₂, therefore we need to multiply the molar mass by 2.
35.45 * 2= 70.9 g/mol

Molar Mass of CaCl₂

Now, to find the molar mass, add the molar mass of 1 calcium and 2 chlorine.
40.08 g/mol + 70.9 g/mol =110.98 g/mol

The molar mass of CaCl₂ is 110.98 grams per mole.
