You could in theory react all of the oxygen with magnesium or sodium while they are all in a closed system. This leaves only Helium. You could also cool down the oxygen to a liquid and then pump out the helium. These are a few possibilities.

4Na+O2=2Na2O

2Mg+O2=2MgO

What element is not found in caffeine carbon helium nitrogen or oxygen?

Helium is not found in caffeine. Caffeine is made up of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen atoms. Helium is a noble gas and is typically not found in organic compounds like caffeine.


What state will the elements chlorine helium hydrogen and oxygen be at room temperature?

At room temperature: Chlorine: gas Helium: gas Hydrogen: gas Oxygen: gas


What does helium smell of?

No. Helium is one of the "inert" gasses, also called "noble gasses", because they undergo virtually no chemical reactions at all.Helium is odorless, tasteless, and based in its atomic number of 2 and atomic weight of 4, practically massless. Helium is very light, does not support combustion and does not support life. Helium is not poisonous, but if you are "huffing" from a helium balloon, you aren't getting any oxygen - and oxygen is one of the things that you need for life.Warning! Taking one or two breaths from a helium balloon is harmless, because there is plenty of oxygen still left in your system. But there is no oxygen in a helium balloon.Because it is completely inert, it does not bind at all with the body. So deep-sea divers use a mixture of helium and oxygen for their breathing tanks, because nitrogen in pressure causes "nitrogen narcosis" - the so-called "Rapture of the Deeps" - and oxygen is flat-out poisonous at high pressures. So divers use a mixture of 95% helium and 5% (or less!) oxygen for long-duration, high-pressure diving.

Does helium dissolve into oxygen?

No, helium does not dissolve into oxygen. Helium is a non-reactive gas that remains separate from other gases in a mixture.


Is oxygen lighter than helium?

no. If it was, we would have oxygen balloons instead of helium balloons.

100% helium


How do you separate oxygen and helium gases?

Oxygen and helium gases can be separated through methods like fractional distillation or membrane separation. In fractional distillation, the gases are separated based on their boiling points, while membrane separation uses a membrane with specific permeability properties to separate the gases based on their diffusion rates.


Would you name some gases?

What is the difference between oxide and oxygen?

Helium Oxide would be a compound of 2 elements: helium and oxygen but no such compound exists. Oxygen is just oxygen and nothing else. It is an element in its own right.


Is oxygen gas also known for helium?

Oxygen is not known as helium. But a mixture of oxygen and helium is used in the oxygen cylinder for underwater diving.


What nuclei fuse to form oxygen?

Oxygen is produced through repeated hydrogen fusion in stars. One such process would start with the hydrogen atoms fusing to form helium. And then the helium would fuse to form beryllium. That in turn would fuse to create oxygen.


Would it be possible to breathe helium instead of oxygen and would it take much alteration to the human body to make this possible?

It is not possible to survive by replacing oxygen with helium. The body cannot use helium for cellular respiration and would very quickly suffocate. The chemical processes involved in cellular respiration would not work with helium, so there is no way to adapt your body to do this.


Is distillation used to separate helium and oxygen gases?

No; the process of separating water into oxygen and helium gases is called electrolysis, since it uses electricity (and a catalyst, such as platinum) to do so.Distillation is the process of concentrating a fluid (such as alcohol) by separating it from another fluid (such as water) by taking advantage of the fact that the fluids will boil at different temperatures. It is a heat-based process, rather than an electrical one.


What is made from 15g of oxygen and 5g of helium?

There isn't a specific compound that can be made using 15g of oxygen and 5g of helium, as oxygen and helium do not readily react with each other to form compounds. However, both oxygen and helium are gases at standard conditions.
