Is argon denser or less dense than nitrogen?
Nitrogen is four fifths of the air so their densities are very similar. Pure nitrogen is slightly less dense than air.
Is argon lighter than air?
No Argon is not lighter than air. Argon is 25% more dense than air.
Does solid argon or liquid argon have a greater density?
Solid Argon is more dense than the liquid phase
Can liquid argon be used in cryogenics?
Liquid argon could in theory be used for cryogenics, but it has a similar temperature range to liquid nitrogen, which is tremendously cheaper and more abundant than argon. For the lower temperature ranges, you would use liquid helium.
How does a balloon filled with nitrogen air fly up?
The composition of air is roughly 78% nitrogen and the remainder except a negligable amount of hydrogen is more dense than nitrogen. Therefore a balloon filled with nitrogen will be less dense then the surrounding air and thus will rise. The balloon will probaly not rise, as there is insufficient lift to overcome the weight of the balloon fabric. Are you sure you don't mean Helium, or Hydrogen?

Is the gas argon more reactive than nitrogen gas?
smd
Is argon more reactive than nitrogen?
Well..I'm Not sure but I think that Argon is more reactive than Nitrogen because Argon is quite an strong gas. Hope This Helps Yuuh People...Good Luck People With Your Homework....<3
What are some gases other than oxygen?
Nitrogen Argon Carbon Dioxide Helium and a lot more! Some other gases are Nitrogen, Argon, Neon, and Hydrogen.
Is an unreactive gas that sinks in air?
Argon is more dense than air.
Is argon heavier than air?
argon is a component of "air" and as such air cannot be lighter than air, only more or less dense, however, judging from atomic masses, yes argon is heavier than nitrogen, oxygen, helium, and hydrogen, but depending on pollutants and other gases (CFC's, HCFC's, etc.) the compound that is air can vary slightly in mass.
What gas in air has more than one atom?
Oxygen, nitrogen, argon have diatomic molecules.
Why is nitrogen heavier than air?
No. The atmosphere is roughly 80% N2, 20% O2, and about 1% of other trace gases. The molecular mass of N2 is about 28, the molecular mass of O2 is about 32. So, no O2 is not lighter than air, it is slightly heavier.
Why is nitrogen denser than water?
Wrong, nitrogen is less dense than water!
Is nitrogen denser than water?
Wrong, nitrogen is less dense than water!
