Like all gasses, nitrogen takes up space, so when nitrogen is put into a given area it pushed other gasses, including oxygen, out of the way.

What are the semiconductor grade gases?
These gases apparently displace oxygen. E.G. nitrogen or argon
Why nitrogen is used in food package?
Nitrogen is an efficient, cost-effective way to displace oxygen and moisture. Nitrogen reduces the oxygen content within food packaging and to avoid product deterioration. A secondary reason for using nitrogen is as a filler gas to provide a pressurized atmosphere that prevents package collapse, this is an important consideration for consumer brands.
What elements does nitrogen have?
nitrogen, carbon, oxygen are what make up nitrogen dioxide.
Is a nitrogen an oxygen?
Nitrogen and oxygen are individual elements with different properties.
What 2 gases are most abundant in the Earth's atmosphere?
Nitrogen and Oxygen
Why nitrogen is harmful?
it can displace oxygen which stops you breathing

What is the benefit of pumping nitrogen into seawater that is stored in steel tanks?
It would displace oxygen and reduce the corrosion of the tanks.

Can freon displace oxygen in the air?
Yes. All gasses take up space and can therefore displace oxygen.
Is nitrogen and argon injurious to health?
Although they are both inert gases and are not toxic, if there is enough of either gas in a confined space, they can displace oxygen. Without oxygen, humans become hypoxic and eventually die.
What does displace oxygen mean?
Moves it out of area
What are the two main gases?
Hydrogen and Nitrogen. Or oxygen and carbon dioxide, or carbon monoxide.
What are the components of clean air?
Argon, Carbon Dioxide, Nitrogen, oxygen, hydrogen
Is helium used for anything?
Helium is used to fill airships, balloons and helium is pumped into oxygen tanks for divers.
