Oxygen is a scientific name for an element. (See 'Periodic Table of Elements')
"Air" is a common name, more like a slang word when compared to the scientific name -- it was a word invented by people, before they knew about things like 'elements' and 'atoms'.
Also, air is a mixture of oxygen and other elements, depending on how pure the air is in each location -- but it's mostly oxygen, otherwise we would have a hard time breathing. However, there are things like carbon-monoxide, carbon-dioxide, etc, which is also invisible and mixed with oxygen we breathe in.
When you ask if oxygen and air can be mixed to be considered a "solution", you are asking a weird question. "Air" has a larger scope than oxygen, so oxygen would be included in what we consider "air". So while oxygen is always air, Air is oxygen but also many other things. (like asking if cheese and Pizza can be an example of a kind of dinner)
So is "air" considered to be a "solution"? Sure. The most common solutions are liquid I think. The rule goes, that for something to be a solution, it must be homogeneous (particles are spread out evenly throughout the mixture), and it must include a solvent and a solute. Pizza would not be a solution, because its ingredients are not homogeneous (ew, gross), and neither can there be identified a specific solvent and solute for it.
What else can I help you with?
What is the color of alkaline pyrogallol solution?
It's colourless. When it absorbs oxygen from the air, it turns purple. It can be used in this way to calculate the amount of oxygen in air. colourless → + oxygen → purple (just an example, not a proper format)
What are some examples of a gas gas solution?
One example of a gas dissolved in another gas is atmospheric air - oxygen and carbon dioxide dissolved in nitrogen. For gases the term mixture is more correct than solution.
What is an example of a liquid-gas solution while what is an example of a gas gas-solution?
An example of a liquid-gas solution is carbonated water, where carbon dioxide gas dissolves in water. An example of a gas-gas solution is air, which is a mixture of various gases like nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and others in the atmosphere.
Is oxygen example of mixture?
Oxygen itself is not an example of a mixture, but rather an element. However, air, which is a mixture of gases including oxygen, can be considered an example of a mixture.
NaCl salt solution containing dissolved oxygen will be more corrosive than air free salt solution?
Yes, a NaCl salt solution containing dissolved oxygen will be more corrosive than an air-free salt solution. Oxygen can enhance the corrosive properties of the salt solution by promoting oxidation reactions that accelerate the corrosion of metals. Oxygen is a more powerful oxidizing agent compared to other components in the solution, leading to increased corrosion.
What is an example of a gas gas solution?
Air. (Oxygen, Carbon Dioxide)
What is the color of alkaline pyrogallol solution?
It's colourless. When it absorbs oxygen from the air, it turns purple. It can be used in this way to calculate the amount of oxygen in air. colourless → + oxygen → purple (just an example, not a proper format)
examples of a gas/gas solution that's not air?
Solutions in which solute and solvent both are gases; are called Gas-gas Solutions. For example - solution (mixture) of nitrogen and oxygen, solution (mixture) of carbon dioxide and nitrogen, solution (mixture) of carbon dioxide and oxygen, etc.
Is dry air an example of solution?
Dry air is not a solution but mixture of gases.
An example of a gas-gas solution?
Air is an example of a gas-gas solution.
What is the element that absorbs oxygen?
Pyrogallol,when in alkaline solution, it absorbs oxygen from the air, turning brown from a colourless solution. or simply none
What is solute of air?
Air solution is a homogeneous solution that is made of more than one components preferably a solvent and solute(s) involved in it.An example would be Air the air we breath has two solutes oxygen and argon and the solvent would be nitrogen.Hope that may help someone :D
Is air a element solution heterogeneous mixture or a solution?
It is a solution of several gasses, the most abundant of which are nitrogen and oxygen.
What are some examples of a gas gas solution?
One example of a gas dissolved in another gas is atmospheric air - oxygen and carbon dioxide dissolved in nitrogen. For gases the term mixture is more correct than solution.
Is steel a gaseous solution?
No. Steel is a solid solution. An example of a gaseous solution would be air.
What is an example of a liquid-gas solution while what is an example of a gas gas-solution?
An example of a liquid-gas solution is carbonated water, where carbon dioxide gas dissolves in water. An example of a gas-gas solution is air, which is a mixture of various gases like nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and others in the atmosphere.
