Why do patients get oxygen in a can and not from the air?
Air only has about 20% oxygen, almost all of the rest is nitrogen. An oxygen tank has 100% oxygen and is used in some cases for breathing sicknesses. These patients don't need 100% oxygen, but just a bit more that is mixed with normal air when they breath in.
Why can't you breath oxygen from rust?
You cant because technically the oxygen has already ben mixed with the iron to make rust . Since the 2 elements have already ben mixed to make a compound, so it is like there was only the rust .No oxygen or iron.
What do you get when you combine nitrogen with oxygen?
a MIXTURE. If it was mixed in a fixed proportion you would get a compound!
What would happen if you mixed fire with oxygen?
it would make the fire get bigger
What is actual color of blood?
the real color is purple but when it is mixed with oxygen it turns red.
Is there a risk when you inhale helium?
Helium is an inert gas, so it has no effect on the body. Divers use it mixed with oxygen when they dive deeply. The only real danger is breathing in so much that you don't get enough oxygen.
Why is gas mixed with oxygen to make it safe for divers?
It is a common misconception that humans absorb only oxygen when they breath. While Oxygen is the primary element that our bodies require when breating we can not breath it in pure concentration. Our own atmosphere is a Nitrogen/Oxygen mix that we inhale and require both elements. I'm not sure for the reason or chemistry behind it. However I do know that over time breathing pure oxygen will kill a person. So we need the mixed gas form similar to our atmosphere.
How can you breathe in?
Astronauts use compressed oxygen mixed with nitrogen fo produce their breathing gas.
Why is it poisonous for us to breathe in oxygen only?
If you breath 100% Oxygen, it is not immediately poisonous and can be beneficial for a short time. However the human body has evolved to breath a gas mixture called air. Air is 80% Nitrogen and 20% Oxygen and if you breath a gas mixture significantly richer in Oxygen for a protracted period, then the Oxygen affects the functioning of most body systems and can lead to death. Also breathing Oxygen where the partial pressure of the Oxygen exceeds 1.2 bar, can cause acute oxygen poising resulting in convolutions. SCUBA divers need to take this into account when diving, especially on mixed gasses.
How can the increase in the level of nitrogen be avoided by deep sea divers?
By breathing nitrox (gases where the %O2 is higher as compared to air) or mixed gases (e.g. adding in helium) so that the partial pressure of nitrogen is reduced.
Who undergoes respiration?
Everyone does, reparation is the process whereby oxygen is turned into glucose and carbon dioxide is released. Do notget it mixed up with breathing.

Why scuba divers use mixture of nitrogen and oxygen?
Most very deep dives are done in trimix, which is a mix of oxygen (actually very little of that), helium and nitrogen.For really deep dives, divers use heliox, which is a mix of pure helium and oxygen.And for really stupidly deep dives, divers use hyrdeliox(hydrogen, helium and oxygen).
What happens when hydrogen sulphide is mixed with oxygen?
Hydrogen sulphide explodes when it is mixed with oxygen.
What is ventilation?
first of all, its ventilation and it means breathing. but don't get mixed up with respiration and breathing they are different!
When you breathe in air mixed with smoke how do you feel?
difficulty in breathing
What happens when carbon dioxide mixed with are air when breathing out?
nothing
