What is nitrogen and oxygen used for?

Nitrogen is used in various industries such as food packaging, electronics manufacturing, and pharmaceuticals. Oxygen is essential for respiration in living organisms and is also used in medical applications, welding, and steel production.


Why is nitrogen gas more than oxygen gas in the air?

oxygen is used by human and animals for respiration bt nitrogen do not. for consuming nitrogen plants need nitrogen fixation ths occurs on low scale on other hand oxygen is directly used so its cunsumbtion is more then nitrogen. another important point is that oxygen is used in burning, formation of water etc ths means ratio of cunsumbtion of oxygen is mor then nitrogen


Why is nitrogen used in an oxygen tank?

Nitrogen is used in oxygen tanks to fill the empty space left as oxygen is consumed. This helps maintain a consistent pressure inside the tank and prevents moisture buildup. Additionally, nitrogen can help prevent the oxygen from degrading due to chemical reactions.


What are the three most commonly used gases around the world?

Does nitrogen burn in oxygen?

No, nitrogen does not burn in oxygen. Nitrogen is inert and does not react with oxygen under normal conditions.

Word equation for nitrogen oxide?

Nitrogen oxide forms when nitrogen reacts with oxygen. The word equation for this reaction is: nitrogen + oxygen → nitrogen oxide.


How do we intake only oxygen from the atmosphere?

We dont, we breath nitrogen and oxygen...but only the oxygen gets used by our bodies.


How does nitrogen dilute oxygen?

Nitrogen dilutes oxygen by physically displacing it in the air. As nitrogen is added to a fixed volume of air, the oxygen concentration decreases proportionally. This can happen in confined spaces, leading to a decreased oxygen level which can pose a risk to human health and safety.


Which gases go into diving cylinders?

There are various mixes of gases which can be used in diving tanks. The most commonly used one for recreational diving is normal air which consists of 80% nitrogen and 20% oxygen (and a small amount of carbon dioxide, argon and other gases) Sometimes the proportion of nitrogen - oxygen is change as follows: Air (80% nitrogen and 20% oxygen) Nitrox-28 (72% nitrogen and 28% oxygen) Nitrox-30 (70% nitrogen and 30% oxygen) Nitrox-32 (68% nitrogen and 32% oxygen) Nitrox-34 (66% nitrogen and 34% oxygen) These are just examples but different mixes can be made You can also use mixes of nitrogen, oxygen and helium. this mix is called trimix. Hope that helps


Why does the nitrogen gas has higher amount than that of oxygen gas?

Nitrogen gas makes up around 78% of Earth's atmosphere, whereas oxygen gas accounts for about 21%. This difference is due to the nitrogen-fixing abilities of certain bacteria and the fact that oxygen is more reactive and is often consumed through processes like respiration and combustion.
