vesna_86 [32]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

A.It lowers the melting point of alumina. B.It increases the electrical conductivity. ... Hint: The solution of alumina and cryolite during the electrolysis gives the aluminium at cathode and oxygen at anode. The alumina is a poor conductor of electricity and the fusion temperature of alumina is about 2000∘C.

What is the main type of heat transfer.
krek1111 [17]

Conduction

Convection

Radiation

Explanation:

The main types of heat transfer are heat transfer by conduction, convection and by radiation.

These forms of heat transfer has different modes of application.

  • Conduction is a form of heat transfer in solids. It requires a material medium to dissipate. Here, heat flows from a hot end to a cold end.
  • Convection is a form of heat transfer in fluids i.e liquids and gases. In convection, heat is transferred due to density differences between heated fluids.
  • Radiation does not involve material medium. It uses the electromagnetic waves to dissipate heat.

What type of spectrum is produced when electromagnetic radiation is emitted or absorbed as electrons change energy levels in an
Setler79 [48]
Then as the electrons in the atoms fall back down, they emit electromagnetic radiation (light). The amount of light emitted at different wavelengths, called the emission spectrum, is shown for a discharge tube filled with hydrogen gas in Figure 12.6 below.
