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.

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.
Is nitrogen dioxide a mixture?
No. Nitrogen dioxide is a compound.
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
What is the oxidation number of nitrogen in nitrogen dioxide?
+4 in nitrogen dioxide (NO2)
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 is air separated into nitrogen and oxygen and carbon dioxide?
Air is separated in components by fractional distillation.
