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

Chemistry

Amanda [17]3 years ago

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

Atoms of arsenic (As) are often added to silicon (Si) in a process called doping to change the conductivity of the silicon. How
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

d) An atom of arsenic has one more valence electron and more electron shells than an atom of silicon, so the conductivity increases because the arsenic atom loses the electron.

Explanation:

This is an example of a n-type semiconductor. The additional electron introduced to the 'grid' of silicon atoms causes an increase in the conductivity of the silicon. This additional electron is introduced as arsenic loses its extra electron.

If a molecule can hydrogen bond does it guarantee that it will have a higher boiling point than a molecule that cannot?
sleet_krkn [62]
A molecule that can h-bond will not always necessarily and does not have guarantee to have a higher boiling point than one than cannot have h-bond.
we can take an example of Pentan-2-one that cannot h-bond but instead of this it  has a high boiling point that is 102.3 °C, while propan-1-ol can h-bond but it has a boiling point of 97.2°C, that is lower than the boiling point of Pentan-2-one.

Which periodic table trend is represented by the blue arrows?
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

Periodic trends are specific patterns that are present in the periodic table that illustrate different aspects of a certain element, including its size and its electronic properties. Major periodic trends include: electronegativity, ionization energy, electron affinity, atomic radius, melting point, and metallic character. Periodic trends, arising from the arrangement of the periodic table, provide chemists with an invaluable tool to quickly predict an element's properties. These trends exist because of the similar atomic structure of the elements within their respective group families or periods, and because of the periodic nature of the elements.

Consider the following unbalanced reaction: P4(s) + F2(g) → PF3(g) What mass of fluorine gas is needed to produce 120. g of PF3
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

44.28 grams.

Explanation:

Let us write the balanced reaction:

P_{4}+6F_{2}-->4PF_{3}

As per balanced equation, six moles of fluorine gas will give four moles of PF₃.

The mass of PF₃ required = 120 g

The molar mass of PF₃ = 88g/mol

Moles of PF₃ required =\frac{mass}{molarmass}=\frac{120}{88}=1.364mol

The moles of fluorine gas required = \frac{4X1.364}{6}=0.91

the mass of fluorine gas required = moles X molar mass = 0.91x38 = 34.58g

Now this much mass will be required if the reaction is of 100% yield

But as given that the yield of reaction is only 78.1%

The mass of fluorine required = \frac{massX100}{78.1} =\frac{34.58X100}{78.1} =44.28g
