Yes
What is a sentence using the element name iridium?
Thermocouples that include an alloy of platinum and iridium are often used to measure temperature in a laboratory.
What type of things are made from iridium?
Iridium metal is employed when high corrosion resistance at high temperatures is needed, as in high-end spark plugs, crucibles for recrystallization of semiconductors at high temperatures, and electrodes for the production of chlorine in thechloralkali process. Iridium radioisotopes are used in some radioisotope thermoelectric generators.
What element is used in spark plugs?
chromium copper iridium platinum
How many moles of iridium are in 26.4g of iridium?
26,4 g iridium is equal to 0,137 mol.
What are uses for iridium?
Iridium is a corrosive resistant element even when subjected to high temperatures of around 2000 deg centigrade..Its a rare earth element atomic number 77. Corrosion and heat resistance makes iridium an important alloying agent. Certain long-life aircraft engine parts are made of an iridium alloy and an iridium-titanium alloy is used for deep-water pipes because of its corrosion resistance.[10] Iridium is also used as a hardening agent in platinum alloys. The Vickers hardness of pure platinum is 56 HV while platinum with 50% of iridium can reach over 500 HV. Iridium has been used in the radioisotope thermoelectric generators of unmanned spacecraft such as the Voyager, Viking, Pioneer, Cassini, Galileo, and New Horizons. Iridium was chosen to encapsulate the plutonium-238 fuel in the generator because it can withstand the operating temperatures of up to 2000 °C and for its great strength.[
