Enthalpy of Vaporization of Argon (Ar) [& Color, Uses, Discovery ... 2022

All atoms need to receive a certain amount of energy (Enthalpy) to change to the gas state, even Argon. Ok, so what is the enthalpy of vaporization for an atom of Ar?

Note: Learn more about the enthapy of vaporization here.

In the case of Argon the enthalpy of vaporization is 6.43 Kilojoules per mole. Now let's check some cool facts about Argon that most don't know about...

Argon Data

Argon Enthalpy of Vaporization

6.43 Kilojoules per mole

State at 20 °C

Gas

Uses

Used in lighting products. It is often used in filling incandescent light bulbs. Some is mixed with krypton in fluorescent lamps. Crystals in the semiconductor industry are grown in argon atmospheres.

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:
