Specific Heat of Tungsten (W) + Sources, Uses, Origin ... 2022

Specific heat is an important physical property for materials and atomic elements like Tungsten. Ok, so what is the specific heat of an atom of W?

Note: Learn more about the specific heat here.

In the case of Tungsten the specific heat is 0.13 J/gK. Well... speaking of him, there are cool facts about Tungsten that most people don't know about. Let me show you...

Tungsten Data

Tungsten Specific Heat

0.13 J/gK

Sources

Occurs in the minerals scheelite (CaWO4) and wolframite [(Fe,Mn)WO4].

Uses

Made into filaments for vacuum tubes and electric lights. Also as contact points in cars. Combined with calcium or magnesium it makes phosphors. Tungsten carbide is extremely hard and is used for making cutting tools and abrasives.

Name Origin

Swedish: tung sten (heavy stone): symbol from its German name wolfram.

State at 20 °C

Solid

Description

Hard, steel-gray to white metal. Highest melting point of all metals.

Atomic Symbol

W

Atomic Mass

183,84

Learn more about the atomic mass.

Atomic Number

74

Discovery

Discovered By: Fausto and Juan José de Elhuyar
Year: 1783
Location: Spain

Video

Are you having trouble understanding the basics of atomic elements? This video will walk you through:
  • What is an element
  • What is a substance
  • What Elements look like
  • How a small number of atoms can be joined and form completely different substances

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. "Specific Heat of Tungsten (W) + Sources, Uses, Origin ..." 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.

Colored Periodic Table

Need an editable periodic table to edit? Maybe add your school logo, work team or anything else to make your paper look cool?

Along with basic atom / element information (like Tungsten specific heat and all the other atomic data), it also comes with color coded info about: State (Gas, Liquid or Solid at room temperature), Groups/series details and much more...

How about an incentive to share this post? (You will help other colleagues find this blog)

Download and enjoy this complete and colored periodic table for you to edit and enjoy. It's in an editable excel format or .ods (open).
