What is the luster of a graphite?
Graphite is black and posseses dull appearance
Is graphite renewable?
NOAnswer:Although much graphite is natural and mined, there are processes for the manufacture of graphite from carbon containing compounds. This involves the treatment of prepared carbon samples at extremely high temperature 4530-5430°F (2500-3000°C).As it can be created from non-graphite carbon, it is renewable.
What mineral is used in pencils?
Graphite is the mineral used in pencils. It is a form of carbon that allows for smooth writing and drawing.
What is the common name for graphite?
The common name for graphite is black lead.
Do both diamond and graphite have a crystal structure?
Yes. Diamond is isometric, graphite is hexagonal.
Can graphite burn and produce flames?
Yes, graphite can burn and produce flames when exposed to a high enough temperature.
What is the specific temperature at which graphite begins to burn?
Graphite begins to burn at a specific temperature of around 700 degrees Celsius.
What happens if you put graphite on fire?
It will burn.
Is graphite flammable?
Graphite is not flammable because it is a form of carbon that does not easily react with oxygen to ignite or burn.
Does graphite react with oxygen or air?
Yes, graphite reacts with oxygen but not at room temperature. The temperature has to be quite high ;)
At what temperature does a pencil burn?
A pencil will start to burn at around 700°F (370°C). This is because the graphite in the pencil is flammable and will ignite when exposed to high temperatures.
Is pencil lead flammable?
: Pencil "Lead" Is made out of Graphite and graphite is NOT flammable. However some brands of "lead" have a coating that is. If you expose a pice of "lead" to an open flame the coating will quickly burn away, the flame will extinguish, and the "lead" will remain. (still useable)
Can pencil lead burn?
Pencil "lead" is actually made of graphite, which does not burn under normal conditions. The substance is used in pencils because it leaves a dark mark on paper, not because it is flammable.
How long does it take for a pencil to burn?
The wood in a pencil will burn in three or four minutes. The graphite inside is pure carbon which will not burn, but at around 800 degrees Celsius will react with oxygen to form carbon dioxide (CO2) and carbon monoxide (CO).
What the different between graphite and coal?
Graphite and coal are both forms of carbon, but graphite is a crystalline form while coal is a sedimentary rock made up of plant material. Graphite is used for its lubricating properties and in pencil lead, while coal is primarily used for generating heat and electricity. Additionally, graphite is a good conductor of electricity and heat, whereas coal is not.
What is the correct label for pencil lead?
You think probable to graphite.
Where does graphite come from?
Graphite mines
