The atmosphere is composed of air. Air is a mixture of Nitrogen, Oxygen, Argon and other trace gases. The first three account for about 99% of the composition of air and are mentioned in the largest to smallest constituents.

Is the mixture of non reacting gases homogeneous?
The mixture of non reacting gases is homogeneous.
Is pure air a homogenous or heterogenous mixture?
Yes. Pure air is a homogenous mixture. Air is a mixture of various kinds of gases. A mixture is said to be homogenous when all its constituents are in phase. Example, a mixture of water & milk is a homogenous mixture, as water & milk both are liquids & are in phase. Same is the case with pure air. All the constituents gases of pure air are in phase with each other. Hence its a homogenous mixture.
Is air a pure substance or a solution?
Neither. It is a mixture.
What role does heat play in mixtures?
Heat makes all the gases in a mixture combine together to make a new mixture. Without heat the molecules in the ingredients of the mixture could not combine as well.
Helium neon argon krypton xenon radon this all called noble gases?
Yes they are all noble gases.
Is Atmosphere an Element?
The atmosphere itself is NOT an element. The atmosphere is a mixture of all the gases around the planet. Some gases are elements, but because there is more than one gas in the atmosphere, it is a MIXTURE of elements not an element itself.
Why is the air called mixture of gases?
Air is called a mixture of gases because air shows the properties of all its components.Answer:A mixture is a combination of substances where each substance remains separate without interacting chemically with the others. This covers tin and copper in bronze, cream and sugar in coffee, or nitrogen, oxygen and argon in air.
How does the total pressure of a mixture of gases relate to the partial pressure of the individual gases in a mixture?
total pressure = sum of all partial pressures.
How does the total pressure of a mixture of gases relate to the partial pressures of the individual gases in a mixture?
total pressure = sum of all partial pressures.
Is the mixture of non reacting gases homogeneous?
The mixture of non reacting gases is homogeneous.
Why is natural a mixture?
Because an example of a mixture is air, oxygen etc. Obviously, these are all gases. Therefore, Gas is a mixture. Hope I helped! :)
How do you separate gas in water as a mixture?
Heating the water all gases are released.
Why is natural gas a mixture?
Because an example of a mixture is air, oxygen etc. Obviously, these are all gases. Therefore, Gas is a mixture. Hope I helped! :)
Could a mixture be made up of only elements and no compound?
Yes. For example, brass is a mixture of copper and zinc. A mixture of metals is called an alloy. A mixture of inert gases (e.g. helium, argon, neon, xenon, krypton, radon).
Is pure air a homogenous or heterogenous mixture?
Yes. Pure air is a homogenous mixture. Air is a mixture of various kinds of gases. A mixture is said to be homogenous when all its constituents are in phase. Example, a mixture of water & milk is a homogenous mixture, as water & milk both are liquids & are in phase. Same is the case with pure air. All the constituents gases of pure air are in phase with each other. Hence its a homogenous mixture.
Is atmosphere a heterogenous mixture or homogenous mixture?
I originally thought that the atmosphere was a homogeneous mixture, but then I found out that it's actually heterogeneous for this reason: when you look up into the atmosphere, what do you see? Generally, you see blue, which is the ozone layer (O3) and clouds, which are suspended droplets of water, a separate layer from the other gases. So, the atmosphere is a heterogeneous mixture. However, air on the ground level that is all around you is homogeneous, as you cannot make out the different gases that it composes of.
Is air a pure substance or a solution?
Neither. It is a mixture.
