Usually the term "inert" is applied to gas constituents of air which are not highly reactive, such as nitrogen or argon, and other gases, if considered separate from the oxygen we need for respiration and important to our body's gas exchange. Since the highly reactive oxygen is only about 21% of the air we breathe, the inert components make up the bulk of the remainder: nitrogen being about 78%, about 1% argon (as a noble gas, also highly unreactive), and much smaller amounts of carbon dioxide and other gases such as helium, methane, krypton, neon, and molecular hydrogen.

What is active and Inactive air in primary schools?
There is no such thing as active/inactive air.
What happens to volume when air temperature increases?
If pressure remains constant, then volume is directly proportional to temperature. Hot air is quite loud.
What type of air is residual volume?
residual volume is the amount of air left in your lungs after fully exhaling.
How volume of air effects air pressure?
meteorology and water
Volume of warm air weighs less than an equal volume of cold air because?
It's less dense
What is active and Inactive air in primary schools?
There is no such thing as active/inactive air.
What does argon do for air?
It forms a small part (0.934%) of air, by volume.
How can you show that air is volume?
Is air also known as volume
How does the volume of water change when the water is open to the air for a week?
Because a part of water is lost by evaporation.
What fraction of inactive part of air?
Around 1%. Nitrogen, which accounts for 78% of ar, does not interact with human beings. Howevr, it does form oxides which, when disolved in rain, cause acid rain - not exactly what I would describe as inactive. It is also absorbed by bacteria which convert it to ammonia, whose compounds are fertilizers.
Why do some seed become dormant?
Because its the inactive part of the seed
What are inactive ingredients?
Inactive ingredients or fillers are substances that are used with the active ingredients to basically "fill" a pill, such as making it holds its shape, so it can be molded or to add volume to a product. They are considered inactive, because they have no medical or nutritional value under the U.S. FDA regulations for such items.
Does Air have a volume?
Yes. Air is a gas, gasses are fluids, and fluids have volume.
What happens to volume when air temperature increases?
If pressure remains constant, then volume is directly proportional to temperature. Hot air is quite loud.
What is the difference between variable air volume and volume control damper?
vav is volume control damper.. vav is variable air volume..
How can you determine the mass volume and density of a textbook a container of milk and an air balloon?
You need to measure the mass using appropriate equipment. You can measure the volume of a textbook and a container of milk by measuring its linear dimensions and calculating the volume. It is not at all easy to measure the volume of an air balloon. You cannot use displacement of a fluid (water) because when submerged, the balloon would be experiencing water pressure and so would occupy a smaller volume. You cannot measure it by allowing the air to escape and measure that volume of air because that air will no longer be experiencing the pressure exerted by the material (rubber?) of the balloon. I have no answer to this part. Once you have the mass and volume, the density is merely mass/volume.
A chemically inactive gas in the air that can be used to fill light bulbs is called?
argon
