How does argon let you use an electric light bulb for many hours?
When the filament of a bulb becomes hot, it can react with the air around it, causing it to change size and / or shape, breaking the filament. Argon is unreactive, and so when this gas surrounds the filament, it prevents it from reacting, so preserving it for a longer period.
Can a light bulb work with just oxygen instead of argon?
No. Light bulb filaments become extremely hot when in use, and oxygen, which is highly reactive, would cause the filament to burn away in a matter of seconds. Argon is used because it is inert, and thus will not react with the filament.
Can you use a 13 watt CFL bulb in place of a 60watt incandescent bulb?
no because it would blow up because the socket would draw 13 watt not 9 watt
Can you use a regular bulb in a freezer?
A light bulb is already mostly frozen. The glass parts are in a state called a "glassy solid". The metal filament, filament supports and base are in a state we call a "solid". The only part of a light bulb which is not already frozen is the dilute gas inside it, which is normally a mixture of nitrogen and argon. Argon freezes at -200 C and nitrogen freezes at -210 C. So if you cool a light bulb down to -210 C (-346 F) then it will become completely frozen. Of course, it will still work.
Can you use a 13.5 volt light bulb in place of a 12 volt Will it be burn as bright?
A 13.5 volt bulb will burn less brightly but last longer.
Why are light bulbs filled with argon and not air?
If you use air instead of argon to fill a light bulb, the air will burn the light bulb.
Why is argon use in a light bulb?
Because argon is an inert gas; the oxidation of the wolfram filament is not possible in pure argon.
Why do you use argon in a light bulb?
it's not very reactive
Why does argon's electronic structure allow for better use in a light bulb?
Argon is inert. This means that the filament in a light bulb can be heated to a high temperature in an environment where it will not react with the surrounding gases.
Which gas is used in electric bulbs?
Different kinds of light bulbs used different gasses. The incandescent bulb uses no gas - it uses a vacuum. Other kinds of bulbs may use nitrogen, argon, neon, or krypton.
Why do they use argon gas in a light bulb?
It is used to replace oxygen so that the hot filament does not get oxidised or burn.
A slogan for argon?
-A bright idea -neon's boring brother -has the brawn to get the job done -Argon to lazy to react with anything -get gassed by argon, its noble -its the noblest of all gases
What can you use to cover a light bulb?
A electrical cord. If you have more questions go to Natalsiapatterson1@gmail.com
Can you use a light plan bulb in place of reptile day bulb?
NO

What do we use argon for everyday life?
used as filling for fluorescent lamps, electric light bulbs, incandescent lamps and for vacuum tube.
