Air is a mix of gasses- mainly nitrogen and oxygen, with a little carbon dioxide, argon, neon, radon etc thrown in. You do not MAKE oxygen from air, but you CAN separate pure oxygen from air. An oxygen concentrator uses a special membrane that has microscopic holes in it. Those holes allow 02 molecules to pas through, but not N2. Air can also be converted to a super cold liquid by compressing and chilling it. At temps below -320 degrees F, the nitrogen will stay liquid, but the oxygen (boiling point -361F) will boil off, and be captured.
What else can I help you with?
Which oxygen is used to make food?
Plants use molecular oxygen (O2) from the air during the process of photosynthesis to make food. In photosynthesis, carbon dioxide (CO2) is converted into glucose (sugar) and oxygen gas (O2) is released as a byproduct.
What is the chemical equation for the reaction of metal sodium with oxygen in air?
The chemical equation for the reaction of metal sodium with oxygen in air is 4Na + O2 -> 2Na2O.
What is nitrogen gas used to make?
in the plumbing world nitrogen is used for purging the air, O2, out of medical gas lines or refrigeration lines for air conditioners. nitrogen is used because it does not burn like O2 thus leaving the inside of the pipe clean.
What is the chemical formula for the oxygen we breathe?
The chemical formula for the oxygen in the air is O2, where the 2 should be a subscript.
What is the word equation for burning magnesium in the air?
It reacts with the oxygen in the air. 2Mg + O2 ------> 2MgO Magnesium + Oxygen = Magnesium Oxide
How does tree make air?
Photosythisis. It converts CO2 into O2.
What can make a 2000 Mercury Sable 3.0 dohc run lean?
the o2 sencer, temp. sencer, or the air temp sencer can. the o2 sencer, temp. sencer, or the air temp sencer can.
Why is air a mixture?
because there are many elements and compounds in that make it up, eg, CO2 is a compound, but O2 is an element. This means its a mixture not an element.
Where is the O2 Sensor Located on a CRX?
The O2 sensor can be found on the outside of the air cleaner housing. The O2 sensor will be attached to the back of the air cleaner housing.
The name formula of two elements that make up the mojority of air?
Air is made mostly of oxygen (O2) and carbon dioxide (CO2).
Will a bad O2 sensor make a car hard to start?
possibly yes, with a bad o2 sensor you can have the wrong gas/air mixture making it harder for the sparkplugs to ignite the gas.
Is the O2 in the air you breathe a cell?
no
What is used to make gas?
in the Plumbing world nitrogen is used for purging the air, O2, out of medical gas lines or refrigeration lines for air conditioners. nitrogen is used because it does not burn like O2 thus leaving the inside of the pipe clean.
What is important about measuring the percentage of O2 in the flue gas from fired equipment?
The percent O2 in the flue gas is a measure of the combustion efficiency of the burner. The burner requires excess air to complete the combustion process. This amount of excess air is measured by measuring the O2 in the flue gas and plugging the results into the formula: [O2 / (20.9 - O2)] x 100 to determine the amount of excess air. 0% excess air is 100% combustion efficiency.
What important substance is in the air when you inhale?
O2
If Nitrogen is 78 percent of air then how many percent of o2 in the air?
21%
Is the O2 in the air you breathe an electron particle?
There are electron particles in O2 as well as in every thing in your body.
