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 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.
What kinds of atom makes up for nitrogen and carbon dioxide?
Chemical formula for nitrogen dioxide: NO2.Chemical formula for carbon dioxide: CO2.Thus, nitrogen dioxide consists of two oxygen atoms and one nitrogen atom, carbon dioxide consists of one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms.
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.
Why carbon dioxide is compound is not mixture?
because the atoms are chemically joined and you cannot use the physical methods eg) evaporatoion, distillation, etc. to separate them
Why can you see the movement of nitrogen dioxide gas in a container but not carbon dioxide?
Carbon dioxide is a colorless gas while nitrogen dioxide is a gas with a reddish-brown color.
How is air separated into nitrogen and oxygen and carbon dioxide?
Air is separated in components by fractional distillation.
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.
What are the 4 gases that make up earths atmosphere?
78.08% nitrogen, 20.95% oxygen, 0.93% argon, carbon dioxide 0,04 %, etc.
What is the gas in Coca-Cola?
All carbonated drinks, including Coca Cola, use carbon dioxide (CO2).
Which is a compound oxygen helium carbon dioxide nitrogen?

Is oxygen carbon dioxide and nitrogen a compound?
Carbon dioxide is chemical compound. Oxygen and nitrogen are chemical elements.
Is there more nitrogen or carbon dioxide in earth's atmosphere?
There is much more nitrogen in earth's atmosphere than carbon dioxide. Nitrogen forms about 79%, while carbon dioxide makes up about 0.04%.
