Graphite is a form of pure carbon; it does not contain gold.
No, graphite is a pure substance. It is a form of the pure element carbon.
no
Yes, a mixture of graphite and water can conduct electricity. Graphite consists of carbon atoms arranged in layers, allowing it to conduct electricity due to the mobility of its delocalized electrons. When mixed with water, the conductive properties of graphite remain, enabling the mixture to carry an electric current, although the conductivity may be lower than that of pure graphite. However, the overall conductivity will also depend on the concentration of graphite in the mixture.
It is not obligatory to melt gold in a graphite crucible; generally is important to avoid contamination of gold with impurities from the crucible.
Graphite was originally used for pencils until a mixture of lead and clay was invented in 1795.
we get lead of pencil from the mixture of clay and graphite
Pencil lead is actually not lead (Pb) at all, but it is graphite. And graphite is simply carbons atoms. So, no, it is NOT a compound mixture.
The predecessor of the graphite pencil was the lead pencil, which used a mixture of graphite and clay for the core instead of just graphite. Lead pencils were first developed in the 16th century.
Graphite is an element. It is composed entirely of carbon atoms arranged in a specific crystalline structure.
Tannin acts as a dispersing agent, helping to separate the graphite particles in the water mixture and prevent them from clumping together. This allows for a more uniform dispersion of graphite in the water and contributes to the stability of the mixture.
Lead isn't actually used in pencils; the "lead" in pencils is made of a mixture of graphite and clay. The graphite/clay mixture is pressed into a thin rod and inserted into the wooden casing of a pencil.
No. Graphite is a pure element, it is an allotrope of Carbon.The allotropes of the element Carbon are :- diamond, graphite, graphene, amorphous carbon and buckminsterfullerenes.
