Thermal Conductivity of Manganese (Mn) [& Color, Uses, Discovery ... 2022

Heat transfer depends on a material property called thermal conductivity, even in an material as small as an atom of Manganese. Ok, so what is the thermal conductivity of an atom of Mn?

Note: Learn more about the thermal conductivity here.

In the case of Manganese, thermal conductivity is 0.0782 W/cmK. Now let's talk about the cool facts about Manganese...

Manganese Data

Manganese Thermal Conductivity

0.0782 W/cmK

State at 20 °C

Solid

Uses

Used in steel, batteries and ceramics. The steel in railroad tracks can contain as much as 1.2% manganese. It is crucial to the effectiveness of vitamin B1.

Atomic Mass

54,93805

Learn more about the atomic mass.

Sources

Most abundant ores are pyrolusite (MnO2), psilomelane [(Ba,H2O)2Mn5O10] and rhodochrosite (MnCO3). Pure metal produced by mixing MnO2 with powered Al and ignited in a furnace.

Description

Hard, brittle, gray-white metal with a pinkish tinge. Rusts like iron in moist air.

Atomic Symbol

Mn

Name Origin

Latin: magnes (magnet); Italian: manganese.

Atomic Number

25

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:
