What are inert gases?
Inert gases are the noble gases (He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe, and Rn). They used to be called the inert gases until Neil Bartlett proved that you could make compounds out of some of them, so they were renamed "inert" gases.
How do you make a homemade rocket fuel?
Take pure water and dissolve an electrical allowing material into it. Then run an electrical current through it and make sure to collect the two gases that the water separates into, hydrogen and oxygen, in separate containers. Then refrigerate the gases to a temperature of 20-15 degrees Kelvin. Both liquids can be ignited and used as rocket fuel.
Was gas masks used after Germans used gases or after the french used gases?
it was the germans
What were the problems with the mustard gas?
One of the main problems of using hzardious gases in an open enviroment is the wind direction, this could end up killing more people on the side in which it was released!
What gases are not ideal and why?
Fartting is not ideal
How could you separate three gases?
The easiest way to separate three gases is to liquefy them all by cooling, and then gradually warm them up and separate them by fractional distillation (since each liquefied gas will have a different boiling point).
What method is used to separate noble gases from air?
Fractional distillation
What is the importance of fractional distillation to separate components of air?
Cryogenic distillation of air is a method to obtain pure noble gases.
How you can obtain different gases from air?
we can separate different gases by using fractional distillation method because the gases has different b.p
How can you obtain different gases from thr air?
we can separate different gases by using fractional distillation method because the gases has different b.p
How do you separate gases the air?
The best process for the separation of components of air is fractional distillation of air. The process includes the liquefaction of air first and then distillation of various fractions on the basis of different boiling points. By using this process, all the components of air can be separated out.
How helium could be separated from the mixture of gases in natural gas?
distillation
What method is used to separate noble gases and air?
Fractional distillation is used to separate noble gases and air, by first liquifying the air and allowing the individual gasses to evaporate out at their respective boiling temperatures.
Would you that mixing gases is a reversible change?
It isn't easily reversible but, it is reversible. You can use a molecular sieve or a distillation column to separate them.
Why when you mix 2 elements together you can often separate them again quite easily?
Mixtures can be separated easily, liquids by distillation, gases can be made into a liquid , and then heated gently to tap the gases off ( also called distillation) solids are a little more difficult and depend on the mixture.Compounds are much harder to separate because they are chemically bonded together.They can be separated by electrolysis but this takes a large amount of energy.
How do you chemically separate oxygen from air?
Oxygen from air is separated by first condensing it into a liquid and then using fractional distillation to separate nitrogen and other gases. That is the only way to separate oxygen from air on industrial scale.
When would you use distillation to separate mixture?
Distillation is use when you want to separate a mixture of liquids, the liquid can be heated to force components, which have different boiling points, into the gas phase. The gas is then condensed back into liquid form and collected. Repeating the process on the collected liquid to improve the purity of the product is called double distillation. Although the term is most commonly applied to liquids, the reverse process can be used to separate gases by liquefying components using changes in temperature and/or pressure
