Oxygen from air is separated by first condensing it into a liquid and then using fractional distillation to separate nitrogen and other gases.

That is the only way to separate oxygen from air on industrial scale.

What does oxygen oxygen nitrogen make?

Oxygen and nitrogen will not directly chemically react with each other under normal conditions. They will typically stay as separate molecules in the air.

When oxygen is part of a compound or a mineral, it is chemically bound in that position. But it is otherwise chemically identical to the oxygen in the air.

Is air gas a compound?

Air is a mixture of mainly Nitrogen and Oxygen, the gases in air are not chemically reacted.


Why can you not just separate carbon dioxide to get oxygen?

You can. Though it is difficult this is because it is chemically bonded. This makes it harder and more difficult to separate.


Why is the air called mixture of gases?

Air is called a mixture of gases because air shows the properties of all its components.Answer:A mixture is a combination of substances where each substance remains separate without interacting chemically with the others. This covers tin and copper in bronze, cream and sugar in coffee, or nitrogen, oxygen and argon in air.


The process of passing electricity through water to chemically separate it into hydrogen and oxygen is call?

It is called electrolysis.


How do you dissolve oxygen in water?

By bubbling oxygen (or air) through the water, splashing water through the air (waterfall). That is where the oxygen that fish breathe comes from. It is separate from the oxygen that was chemically combined with hydrogen to form the water.


Why air is mixture?

Because there is more than just one thing in it. There is oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide and much more, but none of the elements are chemically combined. If you had the right tools you could separate the different gases and particles.


How does heated copper remove oxygen from the air?

Heated copper acts as a catalyst in a chemical reaction where the oxygen molecules in the air are reduced to form copper oxide. This reaction effectively removes oxygen from the air by chemically binding it to the copper surface.


Latin word for oxygen?

The Romans didn't know about oxygen as a substance separate to air, so there is no Latin word for oxygen. The Latin word for air is aura.


why air is a mixture and water is a compound?

Air is composed of many different gases that are not chemically combined and retain their individual properties. Water is a compound because it is composed of two hydrogen atoms chemically bonded to an oxygen atom, and the properties of water are different from the properties of the elements hydrogen and oxygen.
