The air you breathe is made of 21 percent oxygen and 78 percent nitrogen The oxygen in air is the?
It's the oxygen. Since oxygen doesn't dissolve into nitrogen - air is a mixture, not a solution - you can't call it the solute and the nitrogen the solvent, which may have been the answer you thought you were going to get.
What is the ratio of oxygen in air?
It is just under 21 %.
What gases are in air?
78% Nitrogen, 21% Oxygen, 1% trace gases
What is air made up of?
air is made up of some gases. i.e. it's made up of hydrogen, nitrogen, and mixture of other gases. but the most common is it is made up of nitrogen-78%, oxygen-21%, and other gases-1%air is made up of different gases such as oxygen, carbondioxide, nitrogen and noble gases.
About three-fourths of the air is...gas?
78% nitrogen 20% oxygen and 2% other inert gases.
What is the ratio between the oxygen and nitrogen?
In the atmosphere, dry air contains 78.09% nitrogen and 20.95% oxygen by volume. Thus the ratio of nitrogen to oxygen is about 3.7:1.
How many Time more nitrogen than oxygen make up air?
There is: Nitrogen (N2): 78.09% Oxygen (O2): 20.95% in the atmosphere There is ~3.73 times more oxygen than nitrogen in the air and is in a ratio (oxygen to nitrogen) of 39:10 (rounded).
What will happen if oxygen is less abundant than nitrogen?
It already is. Air is about 4/5ths nitrogen and about 1/5th oxygen (and about 1% "other stuff"). The current ratio of nitrogen to oxygen in air is about 4:1 as you can see.
Is the ratio nitrogen to oxygen changed by altitude?
No, the ratio of nitrogen to oxygen is not changed by altitude.
How many times more than oxygen makes up air?
There is: Nitrogen (N2): 78.09% Oxygen (O2): 20.95% in the atmosphere There is ~3.73 times more oxygen than nitrogen in the air and is in a ratio (oxygen to nitrogen) of 39:10 (rounded).
Why do you need more nitrogen than oxygen?
Nitrogen is an inert gas it maintains a proper ratio of oxygen requred by living organisms if oxygen is in higher ratio the respiratory organs become oxidized and more oxygen in blood is harmful as low concentration of oxygen.
Ratio of nitrogen and oxygen in the air?
80% nitrogen, 20% oxygen however it's really 79% plus some decimals of nitrogen and 21% oxygen and a little moisture. But if the question is only looking for a basic answer, just use the top answer.
If the air you breathe is 80 nitrogen 20 oxygen what the ratio in a dive cylinder?
If the 80 and 20 you refer to in your question are percentages then the ratio would be 4:1.
What are the components of clean air?
Argon, Carbon Dioxide, Nitrogen, oxygen, hydrogen
What is the ratio of oxygen and nitrogen gas?
1:4
Why is nitrogen gas more than oxygen gas in the air?
oxygen is used by human and animals for respiration bt nitrogen do not. for consuming nitrogen plants need nitrogen fixation ths occurs on low scale on other hand oxygen is directly used so its cunsumbtion is more then nitrogen. another important point is that oxygen is used in burning, formation of water etc ths means ratio of cunsumbtion of oxygen is mor then nitrogen
Where is nitrogen?
About 80% of air is nitrogen (20% oxygen)
