Enthalpy of Fusion of Scandium (Sc) + Color, Sources, Discovery ... 2022

Energy and heat may change a substance's state from solid to liquid (Fusion). Such energy may be called enthalpy of fusion and it is important even for Scandium. Ok, so what is the enthalpy of fusion for an atom of Sc?

Note: Learn more about the enthalpy of fusion here.

In the case of Scandium, enthalpy of fusion is 14.1 kilojoules per mole. There are non heat related facts about Scandium that you might like to know. I'll walk you through...

Scandium Facts

Scandium Enthalpy of Fusion

14.1 kilojoules per mole

State at 20 °C

Solid

Uses

Scandium metal is used in some aerospace applications. Scandum oxide (Sc2O3) is used in the manufacture of high-intensity electric lamps. Scandium iodide (ScI3) is used in lamps that produce light having a color closely matching natural sunlight.

Citation

When you need to include a fact or piece of information in an assignment or essay you should also include where and how you found that piece of information.

That gives credibility to your paper and it is sometimes required in higher education.

To make your life (and citation) easier just copy & paste the information below into your assignment or essay:

Luz, Gelson. "Enthalpy of Fusion of Scandium (Sc) + Color, Sources, Discovery ..." Materials. Gelsonluz.com. dd mmmm. yyyy. <URL>

Now replace dd, mmmm and yyyy with the day, month, and year you browsed this page. Also replace URL for the actual url of this page (The < and > stay, ok?). This citation format is based on MLA.
