Is graphite edible?

Yes it's very good for you. It lowers cholesterol and is full of Omega 3 and natural oils.


Why do the positive electrodes need to replaced periodically?

Positive electrodes in batteries degrade over time due to chemical reactions during charging and discharging cycles. This degradation can cause a decrease in battery capacity and efficiency. Replacing the positive electrodes periodically helps maintain the battery's performance and improves its overall lifespan.


How long do humidity beads last?

Humidity beads can last for years if properly maintained. It is recommended to periodically check and recharge them with distilled water to ensure they continue regulating humidity effectively. Over time, they may lose their ability to absorb moisture and will need to be replaced.


Why does carbon conduct electricity if it is a non metal?

Carbon is used as a conductor in many applications. One common conductor, automotive spark plug wires, is actually a carbon impregnated chord. A common problem in high voltage electrical systems, such as automotive ignition secondary circuits, is "carbon tracking". A distributor cap, for example, may arc from one terminal to another, leaving a carbon track behind. The current will now follow that carbon path very readily and this is one reason secondary circuit (high voltage) components have to be replaced periodically.

Is graphite non-renewable?

Graphite is a naturally occurring mineral that is non-renewable because it takes millions of years to form. Once graphite is extracted and used, it cannot be easily replaced within a human lifetime.

What is the graphite of a pencil?

The graphite in a pencil is a form of carbon that is bonded together in layers. It is soft and easily leaves a mark on paper when pressure is applied. Graphite is the material that makes up the "lead" in a pencil, allowing for writing or drawing.


What element from the periodic table is used to make pencils?

Graphite, a form of carbon, is the element from the periodic table that is used to make the "lead" in pencils. Graphite is a good conductor of electricity, and its layers provide the smooth writing surface in pencils.


What process are old bird feathers replaced?

molting: to shed hair, feathers, shell, horns, or an outer layer periodically


How did pencils change since it was created?

Very little. The earliest pens had their graphite core wrapped in leather or string; but already in the mid-sixteenth century the wooden pencil like the one we still have today was invented. And the pure, solid graphite core has over time been replaced by a core of graphite powder mixed with clay.


What is the chemical composition of the June birthstone?

Alexandrite is a type of chrysoberyl, BeAl2O4, in which a small percentage of the aluminium atoms have been replaced by chromium atoms.


Who invented the first pencil?

The modern pencil as we know it today was invented by Nicholas-Jacques Conte in 1795. He replaced the traditional graphite and hollowed wood pencil with a mixture of graphite and clay that could be baked to create a uniform writing implement.


Why is it necessary to periodically assess and evaluate policies?

is it necessary to have periodically assess and evaluate policies because it determines whether the policies are still current & relevant to your organisation & to its clients. Whether the policies suits their intended purpose or whether they need to be changed, eliminated, replaced or even updated.
