What compound is made by pottasium nitrogen and oxygen?
You could have potassium nitrate KNO3 or potassium nitrite KNO2.
What is the structure of coordinate covalent bond in nitric acid?
It would've been easier if I could draw the structure or paste, but since it is not supported, I shall explain. One of the oxygen atoms is bonded to the nitrogen by a double bond. The second oxygen is bonded to the nitrogen and a hydrogen by single bonds. The last oxygen is bonded to the nitrogen by a coordinate bond.
What is in scuba tank?
Usually AIR, which is 21% Oxygen and 79% Nitrogen...BUT!!!! It could have been used for Nitrox, which is elevated Oxygen, If you dont KNOW for sure what is in it, DUMP the gas and refill the cylinder.
Could distillation be used to separate air into oxygen nitrogen argon etc?
Yes. That is how argon is produced on a commercial basis.
Is it possible that nitrogen could react with magnesium ribbon?
yes. during the ignition of the magnesium ribbon, if expose in a nitrogenous atmosphere it could result to a substance called magnesium nitride
What element will comprise earth's atmosphere hydrogen oxygen or nitrogen?
compromise? Hydrogen, if you could find enough to convert the oxygen into water. If you mean comprise then its 79 % nitrogen, 21 & oxygen, and 1% argon
What might happen if you combine water and nitrogen?
If Nitrogen would have properties like Fluorine(and higher reactivity than Oxygen), it could have displaced Oxygen from Water to form a compound Hydrogen Nitride
Where on earth could you find nitrogen?
Our atmosphere is made up of 78 % nitrogen.
What are 5 reasons about why your Earth's atmosphere is important?
because the atmosphere contains water vapor, which causes it to rain on earth and it contains oxygen so we could breathe and it also contains nitrogen for the nitrogen cycle. the atmosphere is also important because it has carbon dioxide so the plants could "breathe" and another reason is that it has the ozone layer, which protects us from the sun's harmful rays.
Could you survive on Earth without the atmosphere?
No, because the atmosphere keeps in all the oxygen. Without the atmosphere the oxygen would escape.
What element is found in a diatomic molecule and has the same properties as a gas found in earth's atmosphere?
There a multiple elements that fit this description. Oxygen is a diatomic gas found in the earth's atmosphere. Nitrogen is also a diatomic gas found in the earths atmosphere. Thus, both of these elements fit the description.
What would happen if the oxygen suply increased?
I am foolish in making a general assumption as to the intent of this question. However, I will state that should the balance of oxygen, nitrogen, argon, and other inert elements in our atmosher change, in an instant to let say 100% oxygen, don't strike a match-- We wouldn't be around to talk about it. Basically, Oxygen is highly combustable and our planet could not exist in the form we know it today as having an atmosphere of pure oxygen.
How did the primitive atmosphere differ from your atmosphere today?
The original atmosphere contained only nitrogen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, methane, and water vapor. Today's atmosphere contains 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, 1% shared between argon, carbon dioxide, helium, methane, ammonia, and neon.
Is there atmosphere in Makemake?
The presence of methane and possibly nitrogen suggests that Makemake could have a transient atmosphere similar to that of Pluto.
What would the world be like without air?
Without air, we would not be able to live, We would try to breathe in oxygen but there would be none there so we would shrivel up and die, just like in space, that's why astronauts wear space suits so they can breathe.
If nearly 79 percent of the atmosphere in nitrogen How could there be a shortage in soil?

Why can't you bring all the nitrogen and oxygen from the Earth and bring it to Mars so life is sustainable there?
Here are some reasons we can't do that...Okay, so you take all the nitrogen and oxygen from earth and put it on mars... What's left on Earth?Mars doesn't have enough of an atmosphere, so all of the nitrogen and oxygen would float off into space.It's not very easy to send Earth's oxygen and nitrogen to mars! How do you plan to get ALL of it there?One reason that could be a good idea...If the earth was somehow about to end, taking the oxygen, nitrogen, and some other things to mars could be a decent idea... once someone works out the above problems.So enjoy life and keep asking questions about the universe we live in.
