Argon Definition and 50 Threads

It is my fault. The cage/cabinet where all the cylinders are stored on the side of the building all have dial locks and I know it sounds really bad but my success rate with dial locks is close to zero. I was trying to swap out the 3/4 full argon cylinder for nitrogen but couldn't unlock it so I...

I don't see how isolate m or M. That is, how to get rid of <v^2> which is how I wrote the average of v2

Hi there, I have a small, few liter UHV chamber that frequently needs to be vented and rebaked. I want to shorten my bake time, so I’ve obtained a glove box to allow me to vent, work and close back up under inert gas. i’m curious if people have a preference between Argon and dry Nitrogen. I...

I tried using U=3/2 NKbT, but i don't seem to get the correct answer..

I'm thinking of implementing a metal disk-like probe in an Argon plasma which is powered by RF. Therefore I need to know a metal that's least reactive with the plasma. Does molybdenum meets this requirement?

I understand that liquid argon is constantly boiling when it's in contact with the air in the lab, but I want to increase that boil off rate. Because of that, I got myself a high powered resistor (1 ohm, 100 W) and got the highest current power supply I had (5A). When I supply about 5 V and 5 A...

I have a tank that is 250 Cubic Feet. The tank is under vacuum (1x10-5 Torr).. which is actually 1.93368e-7 psia. How much Argon, in cubic feet, does it take to back-fill to atmosphere or 14.7 psia? Ambient temperature in tank is 90 degrees.

I need to pressurized argon gas from 1 bar pressure to 2 bar pressure. Flow rate outlet is 0.5 LPM. Can anybody suggest me a pump or compressor which is small in size? Minitiarised diaphragm seems good option but is it right one?

Dear friends, does anyone know if there exists any study about electrical conductivity of liquid argon? Thank you in advance for any suggestion.

When we fill a dewar or any other container with liquid argon (or liquid nitrogen), if I am correct, it sizzles because it is boiling. However, after we leave it inside for a few minutes, it stops. Does this happen because when you first pour it inside, the environment is of the liquid is much...

Homework Statement The temperature of n = 19 mol of argon gas is increased from T1 = 21 oC by Q = 4.4 kJ heat transfer, while the gas pressure is kept constant. What is the new gas temperature in Celsius degrees? Homework Equations and as its a monoatomic gas I think this means that the...

hello guys i made a small crude tesla coil ( slayer exiter ) and i tried it on multiple gas tubes that i had and i have been able to discharge neon , argon but i have a question : how strong the electric field needed to discharge argon gas ?

when argon gas is transformed to plasma by an electric current, what is the type of field (electric field or magnetic field) and will that field have any effect on electric machinery put in the plasma container like a hand drill or something? assuming we can have argon plasma with high pressure...

is the amount of argon gas to exert 10,000 psi in cylinder will be the same if argon transformed to plasma or the number of moles will be less as plasma is more excited and have higher kinetic energy?

Hello. I think excited states of Argon atom is described by j,l coupling written as (2s+1)[K]J. However, when I read some papers describing cross section data for Argon atom, data are quoted with strange notation, Paschen notation. I tried to study the Paschen notation and found that its form...

Hey guys! I come back to solve a new problem with your help! 1. Homework Statement Use the Lennard-Jones function: $$ V(R)=4\epsilon[(\frac{\sigma}{R})^{12}- (\frac{\sigma}{R})^6] $$ like as a adiabatic potential energy model in function of separetion R between cople of argon nuclei. With ##...

Hello, I am currently trying to understand the physics behind the vastly different pressures read from a Convectron gauge depending on the type of gas. At the moment I am looking at Nitrogen gas (which the gauge is calibrated to read) and Argon which requires a significant correction once...

I am trying to compute the density of argon given the following conditions: T = 7000 K P = 21331 Pa For typical gases, I do not believe the ideal gas law would hold for such a high temp&low pressure regime, but since Argon is largely non-reactive, do you guys think using the ideal gas law would...

Dear PF Forum, Perhaps just yes/no answer would suffice. It's just out of curiosity and I can't find it on web. Or there are no answers :smile: Are there no noble gas compound? There are CH4, CO2, H2, O2 even O3 What about Helium, Argon, Neon? Are there really no compound with noble gas? If...

Intuitively I always thought He was more expensive than Ar as a shielding gas. But I was reading this book about Heat Exchanger Design & it has this quote that claims "Argon is costlier than Helium" (Link below; see Bullet Point...

Hi everyone, searching on the web about how the fluorescent lamps work, I cannot understand if the UV is emitted by the noble gas or the mercury. For what I understand, both of them ionize, and the UV light is emitted after the collision of the electrons with the atoms, but I would like to...

I have an argon piping system. The pressure is set at 50 psi. Assume no pressure drop. I have a flowmeter that is calibrated to run at 25 psi. Basically, I want to know what the "new" scale will be on the flowmeter as a result of the increased pressure (from 25 to 50 psi). In other words...

This question is in regards to the degeneracy of states for an Argon atom with just one missing electron. For hydrogen the problem of finding the partition function depends on finding the the ionized state of hydrogen divided by the non-ionized state... (please see Saha equation ->...

A neutrino converts a chlorine-37 atom into one of argon-37 A neutrino is also able to react with an atom of gallium-71, converting it into an atom of germanium-71 It looks to me as if the neutrino was changing into a proton in both cases as argon has 1 more proton than chlorine and likewise...

I am doing a research project on sonoluminescence and I am researching if any changes to argon would be made if argon is present in the water. For this I want to find a way to measure the concentration of argon gas accurately and easily. Can anyone help me, whether it be an equation to use...

If one were trying to heat Argon gas from ambient (~20oC) through a mild steel tube of some diameter 'd' how long would it need to be? Additional unknown includes flow rate of Ar gas so some general function would be adequate. Unfortunately my thermo-book is limited and does not go into enough...

How is it that these two have the same electron level array (1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^6), but K+ has bigger radius than Ar? K+ has one more proton in its nuclei than Ar, so I would expect that if both have the same electron configuration - the one with more protons in its nuclei would have the...

Hi all. Just got a question to ask, I'm slightly puzzled by it. Q. Say that you have a sealed container and you put in it 50% helium and 50% argon and you leave it for a few days. Because argon is heavier than helium, would the most of the helium rise to the top part of the container...

So I'm working on a problem where you have 100 argon atoms in a box that obey the Lennard Jones potential. We're using the Verlet method to calculate the position of each particle at the next time step. The issue I'm having has to do with our boundary conditions. We assume that atoms are on a...
