It's a fraction of normal atmospheric pressure, but each type of lamp has a particular pressure, depending on the type of gas and the application.
An electric lamp, also known as a light bulb, functions by using electricity to heat a thin filament inside a glass bulb. As the filament heats up, it produces light. The bulb is filled with an inert gas to prevent the filament from oxidizing and burning out quickly. When the electricity flows through the filament, it causes the electrons to jump and emit photons, creating light.
Argon is commonly used in decoration lamps as an inert gas. It is inert, colorless, and non-reactive, which helps to create a stable and constant environment for the filament inside the lamp to glow brightly and last longer.
Carbon monoxide is not an inert gas.
No. Polonium is a solid at room temperature and is not chemically inert.
Electricity does not flow through inert gases under normal conditions because they are non-reactive and lack free electrons that can carry electric current. However, under certain conditions, such as at high voltages or low pressures, inert gases can become ionized, allowing them to conduct electricity temporarily. This ionization creates charged particles that enable the flow of current. Examples include neon lights and gas discharge tubes, where inert gases emit light when ionized by electric current.
If nitrogen gas is used instead of an inert gas in the glass bulb of an electric lamp, the nitrogen gas can react with the filament material and cause it to deteriorate faster due to oxidation. This can result in a shorter lifespan for the electric lamp. Additionally, there might be a risk of fire or explosion due to the presence of oxygen in the nitrogen gas.
No, just an inert gas and mercury vapor at close to atmospheric pressure. Without the inert gas it would be near vacuum, as very little mercury is needed.
The type of gas commonly used in an arc lamp is typically a noble gas such as xenon or mercury vapor. These gases are chosen for their ability to produce a bright and steady light when an electric current is passed through them in the lamp.
Any inert gas you are breathing.
Argon is used in electric lamps because it is readily available, affordable, and provides stable electrical conductivity. Other inert gases, such as helium or neon, are not as suitable because they may either affect the color temperature of the light or be less stable in maintaining the electrical current required for the lamp to function properly.
Glass, inert gas, tungsten, other metals.
Yes, you can make a chemical reaction without making the product an inert gas. For example, if you run an electric current through Hydrogen and Oxygen, the product is Water, or H2O. Water is not an inert (noble) gas, so you can make a chemical reaction without making the product an inert gas.

The inert gas present in fluorescent bulbs is typically argon. Argon helps to stabilize the electric arc within the bulb, allowing it to produce light efficiently.

Nitrogen gas is used in accumulators because it is inert, non-corrosive, and readily available. It provides a consistent pressure for storing energy and does not react with the fluids or components in the system. Nitrogen gas also has stable compressibility characteristics, making it an ideal choice for maintaining pressure in hydraulic or pneumatic systems.
An arclight is a lamp which produces light by generating an electric arc across an enclosed gas.
