I want to make my own multi-wire chamber for school, and I wonder what kind of effect different wires will have on the efficiency. After reading many papers containing research for wire chambers, I saw that all of them did tests with wires made of gold plated tungsten wires with a diameter of...

That's it, just the question.
I am figuring that the tarnish is an irrelevance as it does not participate either magnetically or electrically, so any RF current passing through the [still metallic] silver top layer, albeit with tarnish over the top, will pass through the same thickness of...
I'm curious what weak acids will form soluble salts with aluminum, but not silver.

Hume–Rothery rules seem to be moderately satisfied for nickel to readily dissolve in silver. Silver has a radius of 144, valence of 1 and an electronegativity of 1.93. Nickel has a radius of 124, valence of 2 and an electronegativity of 1.91. Both elements have a fcc crystal structure. I read...
Hi,
A straight question here, no complicated quantum theory equations for this, I just want to know a piece of data.
What is the saturation flux of silver steel?
It has a fraction of a percent of chromium in it, so was wondering if it was less than carbon steel's ~1.6T?

Hi,
I'm hoping someone out there can help me. I've vented my system to clean her out this week and as I was checking my targets I noticed that the whole sputtering surface of my silver target was white. I've been able to clean the white layer off but have no idea what it is or how it happened...
Two metal rods, one silver and the other gold, are attached to each other. The free end of the silver rod is connected to a steam chamber, with a temperature of 100oC, and the free end of gold rod to a ice water bath, with a temp of 00 C. The rods are 5.0 cm long and have a square cross-section...
Hi all,If there is activation energy for chemisorption, then an atom with insufficient energy to overcome that barrier will remain physisorbed to the surface via van der Waals forces. I would like to further understand this activation energy in terms of, for example, the overlap of electron...

Hi all,
I'm new to this forum and I'm wondering which calculator I should get. I'm planning on taking the ACT so I can't get (use) a Ti-89 titanium or a Ti-nspire CX CAS. I'll taking AP Chemistry, AP Calculus, AP Statistics, AP Biology, AP Physics, and AP Computer Science.
Thank You!
Copper ::: 60.7 x 106 S m^-1
Silver :::62.9 x 106 S m^-1
Gold :: 48.8 x 106 S m^-1
Why is the electrical Conductivity of these elements this way? I mean down the periodic table it should increase in case of GOLD but instead Gold is have far less value of Electrical Conductivity.
More specifically, the free electron density in increasing order goes like this:
Ag
Cu
Al
why then is the conductivity in the reverse order? ie the free electron density doesn't seem to play much of a role in conductivity beyond a certain point.
The question is, which anion could be used to selectively remove silver ions from solution? The options are Cl, SO4, or CO3.
All 3 of them form precipitates, but is there any that is better than the others?
According to electrochemical series ,gold is the last element thus it is depicted that it is the best electrical conductor.(most of the teachers say that) But according to the internet the best electrical conductor is silver , following copper and gold. Which one is true and why ?
Would a silver suite be a better body temperature decreaser than a mister of water? I cool myself off by spraying myself with water but I hear silver is the best conductor, is it better at conducting heat off my body than mist?
I'm going to attempt the Mohr's Method chloride test at home for my saltwater aquarium.

We go through an inordinate amount of fix in our photo labs (20+ gallons/week) and are interested in trying to recover the silver. An electrolytic cell seems like the way to go. Anyone have suggestions, tips, or advice in general?
If I was to electrolyse a hot sodium chloride solution I'm pretty sure a copper electrode would react to make copper chloride. Whereas I would have used graphite electrodes if the solution was cold, this reaction should produce sodium chlorate which can obviously be quite reactive with organic...

Hi everyone.
I have been presented with a problem- to produce a set amount of pure, dry oxygen in any way I can, provided it is safe and accessible. I have chosen to tackle the problem by heating silver oxide until the silver and oxygen separate, however there remains the problem of isolating...
What's stopping entrepreneurs from using fission - taking mercury, for example, or any heavier element for gold/silver - and creating gold and silver from it? Do you think there will come a day when this is commercially viable? Any guesses when?
