Why atmospheric nitrogen is heavier than chemical nitrogen?

Atmospheric nitrogen is composed of two nitrogen atoms bonded together (N2), while chemical nitrogen can refer to various compounds involving nitrogen, such as ammonia (NH3) or nitrate (NO3-). The molecular weight of N2 is heavier than individual nitrogen atoms found in chemical compounds, leading to atmospheric nitrogen being heavier.


Is nitrogen heavier than oxygen?

it is heavier


Out of dry and wet air which is heavier?

Dry air is heavier than wet air because water vapor is less dense than the other components of dry air, such as nitrogen and oxygen. When moisture is added to the air, it displaces some of the heavier components, making wet air less dense and therefore lighter.


What gas is heavier ammonia or oxygen?

Oxygen (1,429 g/cm3) is more dense than ammonia (o,70 g/cm3).


What is heavier nitrogen or helium?

Nitrogen is the heavier gas (mass of 28) compared to helium (mass of 4).


Which is more soluble in water ammonia or nitrogen?

Ammonia is more soluble in water than nitrogen. Ammonia can form hydrogen bonds with water molecules, increasing its solubility, whereas nitrogen is a nonpolar molecule and has limited solubility in water.


Who is heaver nitrogen or air?

Dry air is about 80% nitrogen. The remaining 20% consists mostly of things that are heavier than nitrogen, so dry air is very slightly heavier than nitrogen.


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.


Which element is heavier than carbon but lighter than oxygen?

If "heavier than" in the question is interpreted to mean "has an atomic mass greater than", the answer is nitrogen


What is the most acidic hydride of nitrogen?

The most acidic hydride of nitrogen is ammonia (NH3). This is because ammonia can donate a proton (H+) to a base, making it acidic. The other hydrides of nitrogen, such as hydrazine (N2H4) and hydrogen azide (HN3), are less acidic than ammonia.


Which is heavier hydrogen or nitrogen?

Nitrogen, has a atomic weight roughly 14 times heavier then that of hydrogen.


Is aqua ammonia heavier than water?

Aqua ammonia (ammonium hydroxide) is lighter than water because its density is less than that of water. This means that aqua ammonia would float on top of water if they were mixed together.
