Why is graphite used instead of gold or copper wires to conduct electricity in very hot situations such as an industrial kiln?

In very hot situations like an industrial klin, there is risk of melting of wires if they are made up of metal with low melting point. Also, metal with high electrical conductivity is required under such situations.

Graphite is good conductor of heat and electricity also, it has very high melting point therefore, it is used instead of copper and gold with low melting point to make wires.

Other advantages of graphite are it is thermal shock resistant, The coefficient of thermal expansion is 3 times less than that of copper. The melting of graphite does not take place and it gets converted directly from solid to liquid at 3400 °C (extremely high temperature). It forms lighter electrode because density of graphite is 5 times less than that of copper.

It wont melt like gold and copper would at that temperature

Determine the volume in liters occupied by 22.6 g of I2 gas at STP.
AleksandrR [38]

 The volume in liters  occupied  by 22.6 g  of I₂  gas  at STP  is  1.99 L (answer A)

 <u><em>calculation</em></u>

Step: find the  moles of I₂

moles= mass÷  molar mass

from  periodic table the  molar mass  of I₂  is  253.8 g/mol

moles = 22.6 g÷253.8 g/mol =0.089 moles

Step 2:find the volume  of I₂  at STP

At STP  1  moles =22.4 L

         0.089 moles= ? L

<em>by cross  multiplication</em>

={ (0.089 moles x 22.4 L) /1 mole} = 1.99 L

Write the formula for the conjugate base for the following acids. <br>Thank you ​
Llana [10]

Answer:

See the answer and explanation below , please.

Explanation:

A conjugate base is defined as that formed after an acid donates its proton.

For each article, a continuation of the conjugate bases (highlighted in bold), for dissociation in water:

a) HF + H20 --> F- + H30+      

b) H20+ H20 --> OH-  + H30+

C)H2PO3-  + H20--> HPO3 2-   + H30+

d) HSO4- + H20 -->  SO4 2- + H30+

E) HCL02 + H20 --> CLO02 -   + H30+

A calorimeter contains 100 g of water at 39.8 ºC. A 8.23 g object at 50 ºC is placed inside the calorimeter. When equilibrium ha
Tju [1.3M]
When equilibrium has been reached so, according to this formula we can get the specific heat of the unknown metal and from it, we can define the metal as each metal has its specific heat:

Mw*Cw*ΔTw = Mm*Cm*ΔTm

when 
Mw → mass of water
Cw → specific heat of water
ΔTw → difference in temperature for water 

Mm→ mass of metal
Cw→ specific heat of the metal
ΔTm → difference in temperature for metal

by substitution:

100g * 4.18 * (40-39.8) = 8.23 g * Cm * (50-40)

∴ Cm = 83.6 / 82.3 = 1.02 J/g.°C

when the Cm of the Magnesium ∴ the unknown metal is Mg
