The CAS number 7440-63-3 corresponds to Xenon (Xe), a chemical element in the periodic table that has the atomic number 54. Xenon is a colorless, dense, odorless, and tasteless noble gas found in Earth's atmosphere in trace amounts. Here are some key characteristics of Xenon:
Physical Properties:
Boiling Point: 165.05 K (-108.10 °C or -162.58 °F)
Melting Point: 161.4 K (-111.75 °C or -171.15 °F)
Density: 5.9 g/L at standard temperature and pressure (STP)
Chemical Properties:
Xenon is chemically inert under normal conditions but can form compounds under certain circumstances.
It is one of the few noble gases that can form stable compounds with fluorine, such as XeF2, XeF4, and XeF6.
Uses:
Medical Applications: Xenon is used as an anesthetic in medical settings due to its anesthetic properties.
Lighting: It is used in high-intensity lighting applications like flash lamps, lighthouse bulbs, and automotive HID lights.
Lasers: Xenon is used in excimer lasers, which have applications in photolithography for semiconductor manufacturing.
Spacecraft Propulsion: It is used as a propellant in ion thrusters for spacecraft due to its high atomic mass.
Suppliers:
Xenon is supplied by various companies around the world. These companies provide xenon in compressed gas cylinders for industrial and scientific uses.
Safety Information:
Xenon is non-toxic but can displace oxygen in confined spaces, leading to asphyxiation if proper ventilation is not provided.
If you are looking to purchase Xenon, you should contact a reputable gas supplier who can provide it in compliance with safety regulations and standards relevant to your location. Always ensure that the supplier you choose adheres to local laws regarding the handling and transportation of hazardous materials.
