Why metals used in space tech should be pure sr? And why only van arkel method? Why not any other method?
ReplyDeletenahi pata bhai..
DeleteThey aren't pure, rather they are made pure.As for why only Van Arkel method? Well, try Kroll process... :P
Delete~JS
Van Arkel method gives the purest form of titanium.krolls process only gives impure titanium.
DeleteI think by this process 'Zr' can be prepare.... is that??
DeleteYes, that's right pal.
Deletewhy we should convert impurities metal into titanium tetra-iodide?
ReplyDeleteBecause titanium tetra iodide is volatile, and so the oxygen and nitrogen impurities are also removed along with it, and on decomposition at higher temperature, we get back pure Ti
DeleteWhat about Zirconium?
ReplyDeleteYes, Van Arkels method is also used to purify Zr.
Deletevan arkel method is used to purify Ti, Zr Hf and B
ReplyDeleteWhy we use tungsten or tantalum failament for heating metal iodide??

ReplyDeleteBecause pure titanium has high strength and durability also it is a streagic metal I.e. Use to make arms (weapons) so pure titanium along with some amount of carbon used in making spacecraft rocket parts .
ReplyDeleteDo zn refined by Van arKel method??
ReplyDeleteWhat is the best method for refining zinc??
ReplyDeleteA)van arKel,b)zone refining,c)poling
van arkel
Deleteha ha van arkel
DeleteCan Nickel be purified by van-arkel method?
ReplyDeleteMond process is used
Deletewhat is the principle behind Van Arkel process
ReplyDeleteIt is actually when react the metal like Zr and Ti with halide they form voltiate compounds means that they can form vapours when heated. hence when halide is formed and when heated with sutiable medium only the pure metal halide will form vapours leaving behind the non violtale impurities
Deletewhat is zr
ReplyDeleteZirconium atomic number : 40
DeleteITS REALLY VERY GOOD SITE
ReplyDeleteha ha ha
DeleteIt's amazing and very helpful.thanks.
ReplyDeleteWhy another metal is not purified by van arkel method
ReplyDeletebecause most of them do not form volatile compounds with the halides .
DeleteVolatile compound formed is stable or unstable?
ReplyDeleteWhy iodine is used in the process?
ReplyDeletebecause it is has large size enough to react with Zr and Ti
DeleteWhat about zr
