Heat of Vaporization of Zirconium (Zr) + Description, Origin, Uses ... 2022

Liquids need some energy or heat to transform into a gas, even Zirconium. Ok, so what is the heat of vaporization of an atom of Zr?

Note: Learn more about the heat of vaporization here.

In the case of Zirconium heat of vaporization is 58.20 kJ/mol. Now let's check some facts about Zirconium that people don't know about...

Zirconium Data

Zirconium Heat of Vaporization

58.20 kJ/mol

Description

Gray-white, lustrous, corrosion-resistant metal.

Uses

Used in alloys such as zircaloy which is used in nuclear applications since it does not readily absorb neutrons. Also baddeleyite is used in lab crucibles. Used in high-performance pumps and valves. Clear zircon (ZrSiO4) is a popular gemstone.

Atomic Mass

91,224

Sources

Found in many minerals such as zircon and baddeleyite.

State at 20 °C

Solid

Atomic Symbol

Zr

Name Origin

From the mineral, zircon.

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. "Heat of Vaporization of Zirconium (Zr) + Description, Origin, Uses ..." 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.
