Answer:

The filament of a bulb has a high melting point because of the heat generated inside the bulb.

Explanation:

When electricity is concentrating and run through a bulb, it starts to generate heat. Leave it on long enough and it will start to build up a lot of heat. Have you ever tried touching a light bulb when it has been all day? It's scorching to the skin.

Since electricity generates heat, the bulb's filament has to have a high melting point so it doesn't melt, destroy the bulb, and leave you light-less. If the filament has a high melting point, then it is able to withstand heat generated by electricity and provide you light.

Water _____.

Sergio039 [100]

Answer: is neither an acid nor a base

Explanation: Water is a universal solvent which means it can dissolve most of the substances in it.

Water has high thermal heat capacity , which means large heat is required to heat the water.

Water is not always pure as it gets contaminated by various pollutants present in the atmosphere such as gases, bacteria and suspended matter.

Water is an amphoteric substance which can act as both acid and base, thus can donate and acept [texH^+[/tex] ions.Thus it is neither an acid nor a base.
