What else can I help you with?
What is the boiling point for metal?
Boiling point: the temperature when vapours of the material are formed.
Which is the metal vapours used in yellow street lights?
Sodium vapour.
What liquid metal used to be in thermometers?
Mercury. The metal gives off poisonous vapours - and has largely been replaced by alcohol.
What would increase the amount of heat the metal radiates to the air?
Increasing the temperature of the metal, increasing the surface area of the metal, and improving the thermal conductivity of the metal would all increase the amount of heat the metal radiates to the air.
Does protactinium react with water?
Protactinium is a highly reactive metal and it can react with water, particularly in its radioactive forms. This reaction can release hydrogen gas and produce protactinium hydroxide. However, protactinium is rare and not often encountered in everyday situations.
Can light cause metal to get warm?
Yes, light can cause metal to get warm through a process called absorption. When light energy is absorbed by a metal surface, it can increase the kinetic energy of the metal atoms, leading to an increase in temperature.
How does metal get hot?
When metal is exposed to a heat source, such as fire or electricity, the atoms within the metal start vibrating more rapidly, leading to an increase in temperature. This increase in temperature causes the metal to heat up and potentially reach a point where it begins to emit light in the form of glowing or melting.
What will be the effect of lower water level in boiler?
Effect of low water level in the boiler is rapid increase the temperature of the metal tubes, causing a collapse or rupture.
Four 5-gram blocks of metal are sitting out in the sun and absorb the same amount of heat energy. Use the following specific heat capacity data to determine which block will increase its temperature t?
To determine which block will increase its temperature the most, compare the specific heat capacity of each metal. The metal with the lowest specific heat capacity will increase its temperature the most with the same amount of heat energy absorbed. Choose the metal with the lowest specific heat capacity among the four blocks.
Which metal vapours give yellow street light also used in fog lamps?
I think it's sodium.
What is the freezing point and boiling point of a metal?
The freezing and boiling points of metals vary depending on the specific metal. For example, the freezing point of iron is around 1,538°C and the boiling point is about 2,861°C. Metals generally have high melting and boiling points compared to non-metals due to their metallic bonding.
Do metal halide lights release vapours while operating?
No, the light producing quartz arc tube is totally enclosed in a borosilicate glass envelope which contains nitrogen gas. This is a completely sealed unit so no vapours are released.
