oxygen is used by human and animals for respiration bt nitrogen do not. for consuming nitrogen plants need nitrogen fixation ths occurs on low scale on other hand oxygen is directly used so its cunsumbtion is more then nitrogen. another important point is that oxygen is used in burning, formation of water etc ths means ratio of cunsumbtion of oxygen is mor then nitrogen

Why does air have more nitrogen than oxygen?
because it is light in weight there for occupy more space
Does nitrogen weigh more than air?
No. Nitrogen is slightly less dens than air. The density of a gas is directly proportional to its molecular mass. Dry air is 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen. Nitrogen has a molecular mass of 28 AMU. Oxygen has a molecular mass of 32 AMU. This makes air just a bit denser than pure nitrogen.
Why do you need more nitrogen than oxygen?
Nitrogen is an inert gas it maintains a proper ratio of oxygen requred by living organisms if oxygen is in higher ratio the respiratory organs become oxidized and more oxygen in blood is harmful as low concentration of oxygen.
What percentage of air is made of nitrogen than oxegyn makes upthe air?
Nitrogen 78% , Oxygen 21%.
Is nitrogen denser than air?
No, air is more dense because it contains 20% oxygen, the heavier element than nitrogen (32 g/mol O2, i.s.o. 28 g/mol N2).
How many Time more nitrogen than oxygen make up air?
There is: Nitrogen (N2): 78.09% Oxygen (O2): 20.95% in the atmosphere There is ~3.73 times more oxygen than nitrogen in the air and is in a ratio (oxygen to nitrogen) of 39:10 (rounded).
How many times more than oxygen makes up air?
There is: Nitrogen (N2): 78.09% Oxygen (O2): 20.95% in the atmosphere There is ~3.73 times more oxygen than nitrogen in the air and is in a ratio (oxygen to nitrogen) of 39:10 (rounded).
How much of the air is nitrogen?
The air is made up, mostly, of oxygen and nitrogen.. Air is 78 % nitrogen, 21 % oxygen, about 1 % argon, and a whole raft of other gases present in even smaller amounts..
How much more abundant is nitrogen and oxygen in the air?
About 20% more than Oxygen at around 50%.
What is true about air?
Good old air contains more Nitrogen than oxygen.
Why does air have more nitrogen than oxygen?
because it is light in weight there for occupy more space
Why percentage of nitrogen is very high in air?
Because that's how much there is, even if there were more oxygen in air than nitrogen this would be unhealthy!
Does nitrogen weigh more than air?

What will happen if oxygen is abundant than nitrogen?
Well, if you meant "What will happen if oxygen is MORE abundant than nitrogen?" then the answer to that question is that all those who breathe in air would breathe more proficiently than ever before Well, if you meant "What will happen if oxygen is MORE abundant than nitrogen?" then the answer to that question is that all those who breathe in air would breathe more proficiently than ever before
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.
What gas in air has more than one atom?
Oxygen, nitrogen, argon have diatomic molecules.
What happens when water vapor is lighter than nitrogen or oxygen?
Water vapor is a gas so it is in the air. Nitrogen and nitrogen are in the air too, but there is more nitrogen than anything in the air. I believe it rises because it is lighter, like a balloon filled with helium.
