Argon

Do you know exactly what the element Argon is? Argon is a colorless, odorless, chemically inactive, monatomic, gaseous element that, because of its inertness, is used for filling fluorescent and incandescent lamps and vacuum tubes. In this paper you will be educated about when Argon was discovered, where it can be found on the Periodic Table, some of its properties, and some of the uses for Argon. Argon was discovered in 1894 by two chemists. The two chemists were Sir William Ramsay, who was a Scottish chemist, and Lord Rayleigh, an English chemist.(It’s Elemental- The Element Argon) These two chemists weren’t actually trying to discover this element. Stated at Argon- Element information, properties and uses | Periodic Table, they actually were trying to explain the density of nitrogen from air differed from that obtained by the decomposition of ammonia. It just so happened while they were trying to explain their theory they were able to discover the element Argon. Argon can be found in nature in a very little amount. According to Argon, Chemical Element- reaction, uses, elements, metal, gas, number, name, symbol, they state about 0.93 percent of Argon is in the atmosphere. It also states Argon can be in the earth’s crust about 4 parts per million. Argon is an…

Argon is the element i picked for the project. Argon is a chemical element with symbol Ar and atomic number 18. It is in group 18 of the periodic table and is a noble gas. Argon is the most abundant gas in the earth's atmosphere. It makes up 1.28% of the atmosphere. It was one of the first noble gases to be discovered. It is a colorless, odorless, and non-toxic material in all three of its states. Henry cavendish proposed in 1785 that argon might exist. Lord rayleigh and sir william ramsay…

find out all of the information on Helium. The first isolation of Noble Gases happened in 1875, when Henry Cavendish removed nitrogen and oxygen form a sample of air, and the gases that were unaffected by this process were Noble Gases. In 1894, John William Strutt and William Ramsay replicated Henry Cavendish’s experiment with a few adjustments, and named the gas that was leftover Argon. Morris W. Travis and Sir William Travis discovered Neon, Krypton, and Xenon in 1898. They cooled a sample of…

Argon- Potassium (Ar-K) SYSTEM K- 40 is a radioactive and decays to two different daughter products, calcium-40 and argon-40, by two different decay methods (Wiens, 2002). This is not a problem because the production ratio of these two daughter products is precisely known, and is always constant: 11.2% becomes argon-40 and 88.8% becomes calcium-40 (Wiens, 2002). It is possible to date some rocks by the potassium-calcium method, but this is not often done because it is hard to determine how much…

What’s The Difference Between Krypton And Argon Gas In Windows? Of all the features in a new window, one of the things you might not have thought about is the kind of gas that is used between the glass window panes. Windows can have krypton or argon gas, which is more dense than oxygen. It helps provide additional insulation for your windows, with each type of gas having advantages and disadvantages. By understanding how these two gases are different, you can select the type that is best for…

In problem one, we were simulating an ammonia production by reacting nitrogen and hydrogen in a reaction called Haber process. Haber process is a very economic exothermic reaction to produce ammonia by reacting nitrogen and hydrogen using a metal catalyst in high pressure and temperature. Nitrogen was obtained from the air and therefore, some argon would be included in this simulation. On the other hand, hydrogen was obtained from the cracking of petroleum. The simulation process started where…

Neon is a nonmetal, colorless gas that has an atomic weight of about 20.180. This element was discovered by Sir William Ramsay in 1898 and contributions also came from Morris Travers. I will go into greater detail about how they discovered neon later into the essay. Neon’s atomic number on the periodic table is 10. It is also odorless, colorless, and non-toxic. As I stated earlier, neon was discovered at the University College London by Sir William Ramsay and Morris Travers in…

The light in neon signs are made of neon gas placed into glass tubes bent into decorative designs. Neon is used very often because it as a noble gas. This is because the every atom has an electron shell, therefore the atoms do not react with other atoms and it becomes very difficult to remove an electron because it would take much energy. When a high-voltage electrical current passes through the neon gas, its energy can remove an electron. The atoms in the tube are moving around and hitting…

One theme in Ted Chaing’s “Exhalation” is acting for the greater good, in this case, to add to the pool of scientific knowledge. The narrator, a mechanical being in a world populated with other mechanical beings who believe they will live forever, is an anatomist. He has suspected for some time that the prevailing hypothesis of how memory is stored is incorrect. He comes up with an idea for an experiment to find out. The experiment poses great risk to his body, so he deliberates over whether he…
