Chemistry Questions

Argon gas is used in fluorescent and incandescent light bulbs to stop the oxygen in the light bulbs from corroding the hot tungsten filament.

The use of argon in light bulbs prevents the evaporation of the tungsten filaments, which results in increased light bulb life.

Argon is also used to create an inert atmosphere for growing semiconductor crystals, arc welding and for processes that need protection from other kinds of atmospheric gases.

Ionisation energy is the energy required to remove one mole of electrons from one mole of gaseous atoms. Atoms are more stable when they have full valence shells.

The ionization energy decreases from top to bottom in groups, and increases from left to right across a period.

HGence, in this trend Francium (Fr) has the lowest ionization energy.

An enzyme is a variety of catalyst and is the relation between tham. A catalyst is a chemical that increases the rate of a chemical reaction without itself being changed by the reaction.

Ammonia can be dried by Calcium Chloride or calcium hydroxide.
