Explain why could distillation be used to separate air into oxygen nitrogen carbon dioxide argon and so forth?
Each constituent of air has its specific boiling point temperature, so that liquid air can be separated into its constituents by distillation in the same manner as any mixture of two or more liquids with different boiling points.
Could distillation be used to separate air into oxygen nitrogen carbon dioxide argon?
Sorry but no it couldn't. I have tried many times and I have a science PhD. It just cant be done. The molecules in the air don't work in that way but I admire your keen energy to work. Keep studying and maybe you can be as good as me!
How can you separate kerosene oil and water?
You could use the separation techniques of either distillation or a centrifuge.
Could settling be use to separate petroleum?
Yes petroleum can be separated by using: 1.Distillation 2.Evaporation
What process used to separate heterogeneous mixture of solid and liquids is called?
it is the Fractional distillation.
How could you separate liquid nitrogen and liquid oxygen?
By fractional distillation. Allow liquid air to get less cold. At around 77.4K, nitrogen will boil off while oxygen will remain liquid. The temperature will begin to rise again when all the nitrogen has boiled off.

Could distillation be used to separate air into its compnent gases?
YES

The separation is possible by distillation.
8 is a process that could be used to separate dissolved particles from the liquid in a solution?
Distillation

What property could separate the gases in air?
Air is made up of 80 percent nitrogen and 20 percent oxygen. The boiling points of these elements are different: oxygen's boiling point is minus 297 degrees Fahrenheit and nitrogen's is minus 320 degrees Fahrenheit
What is the best technique to separate two liquids?
Usually you could separate them - at leas mostly - by distillation. If they form an azeotrope it might get more difficult but you could probably distill them far enough to get very close to pure.
What element will comprise earth's atmosphere hydrogen oxygen or nitrogen?
compromise? Hydrogen, if you could find enough to convert the oxygen into water. If you mean comprise then its 79 % nitrogen, 21 & oxygen, and 1% argon
