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

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.

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.


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.


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.
