The element Nitrogen has by far the highest % composition of dry air. It is also the highest percentage by volume in wet air. Only the percentage is known (78.09%), because it is impossible to measure the total volume of air as it is constantly changing.

Really dry air would contain no water. For example: Texas, September 2011 - the report is that they are really hoping for a small, slow moving drenching hurricane.

A change in can bring about a change in air pressure?

if the dna sequence of a gene was tacttaccgagctagact then what kind of mutation has occured This has nothing to do with the question of air pressure. Either a change of temperature or a change of volume can affect air pressure, according to Boyle's Law of Gases. Increasing temperature=increased air pressure Decreased volume=increased air pressure The reverse is also true. Decreased temperature=decreased air pressure Increased volume=decreased air pressure


What happen when air gets heated?

As air (unconfined), is heated its volume increases, and its density decreases. That makes it lighter (per volume) than it was. Warm air will rise above colder air, and in essence, float on top of the colder air.


What is the effect of emphysema on inspiratory reserve volume?

The volume of air which you normally breathe in and out is called the tidal volume. This is normally about 500 cm3 when you are at rest. However if you breathe in as much as you can you can breathe in more than 500 cm3. The extra volume of air breathed in (inspiration) is called the inspiratory reserve volume.Similarly when you breathe out as much as you can, the extra volume of air breathed out (expiration) is called the expiratory reserve volume. These three volumes added together give you your vital capacity: the maximum volume of air you can breathe in or out. When you have breathed out as much as you can there is still some air left in your lungs ie you cannot empty your lungs completely. This volume is called the residual volume.The vital capacity plus the residual volume equals your total lung capacity.
