Smoke is a mixture of gases, solid particle, liquid particles, water vapors and air.
Which are the most abundant gases in the atmosphere at sea level?
These gases are: nitrogen (78,084 %), oxygen (20,9476 %), water vapors (variable concentration), argon (0,934 %), carbon dioxide (0,0314).
Percent composition is expressed as a percent by?
Percent composition is usually expressed as a percent by mass, but in the case of gases and vapors, it is often expressed as a percent by volume.
How do the molecules in solids liquids gases differ?
The molecules remain identical (for example ice, water, vapors).
What is the most abundant component of volcanic gases?
Water Vapors.
What are the gases that makes up the air?
These gases are nitrogen, oxygen, argon, other noble gases, carbon dioxide, water vapors.
Vents that emit only hot gases and vapors are called?
fumaroles
What determines if gases or vapors are lighter or heavier than air?
Their densities
What are the characteristics of gases and vapors that are heavier than air?
They sink below the air.
Why is it that vapors can be liquefied only by compression while gases can only be liquefied by first lowering the temperature before compression?
The premise of the question is incorrect, so "why" is irrelevant. You appear to be making a novel distinction between "vapors" and "gases" that I have never heard before.
What are the gases called that make up air?
The active gas in the air is HYDROGEN
Does cooking reduce or add greenhouse gases?
Cooking technically adds greenhouse gases. The vapors and gases produced through the cooking process do add to greenhouse gases, but certain methods of cooking are worse than others.
What is smoke a mixture of?

What is smoke inhalation?
Smoke inhalation is breathing in the harmful gases, vapors, and particulate matter contained in smoke.
