Thermal Conductivity of Vanadium (V) [& Color, Uses, Discovery ... 2022

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

Note: Learn more about the thermal conductivity here.

In the case of Vanadium, thermal conductivity is 0.307 W/cmK. Now let's talk about the cool facts about Vanadium...

Vanadium Data

Vanadium Thermal Conductivity

0.307 W/cmK

State at 20 °C

Solid

Uses

It is mixed with other metals to make very strong and durable alloys. Vanadium pentoxide (V2O5) is used as a catalyst, dye and color-fixer.

Atomic Mass

50,9415

Learn more about the atomic mass.

Sources

Found in the minerals patronite (VS4), vanadinite [Pb5(VO4)3Cl], and carnotite [K2(UO2)2(VO4)2.3H2O]. Pure metal produced by heating with C and Cl to produce VCl3 which is heated with Mg in Ar atmosphere.

Description

Soft, ductile, silvery-white metal. Resistant to corrosion by moisture, air and most acids and alkalis at room temperature.

Atomic Symbol

V

Name Origin

From Scandinavian goddess, Vanadis.

Atomic Number

23

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. "Thermal Conductivity of Vanadium (V) [& Color, Uses, 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.
