Oxygen mixes with air because air is primarily composed of nitrogen, oxygen, and other gases like carbon dioxide and argon. These gases naturally mix together due to diffusion, which is the movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. Oxygen and nitrogen will mix together in the atmosphere until they reach an equilibrium.
What else can I help you with?
What is the name of the gas you inhaled?
air, which is a mix of several gasses
What would happen to oxygen if the jar it was in broke?
If the jar holding the oxygen breaks, the oxygen will escape into the surrounding environment. Oxygen is a gas, so it will disperse quickly and mix with the air around it.
How much the percentage of oxygen heavier than air?
Oxygen is slightly heavier than air, with a density about 1.1 times that of dry air. This difference is not significant enough to cause oxygen to settle or "fall", as the two gases mix and disperse in the atmosphere.
Where does oxygen mix with the gas inside a bunse burner?
Oxygen mixes with the gas inside a bunsen burner at the air holes located at the base of the burner. As the gas is released from the burner, oxygen from the surrounding air is drawn in through these holes, creating a mixture of gas and oxygen that can be ignited for combustion.
Will a balloon filled with oxygen rise?

Why you mix air with petrol in ic engine?

Why you are unable to get pure oxygen?
bcoz the pollutants present in air mix up with oxygen and pollute it also....that's why v r not able to get pure oxygen...

What percentage of air we breathe is nitrogen?
78% of the air we breathe is nitrogen. 21% is oxygen, and the other 1% is a mix of other gasses.
Why do you mix nitrogen with air when scuba diving?
actually we dont mix nitrogen nor oxygen we use normal fresh air. The normal Air is 21% oxygen + 78% Nitrogen + 1% others. As humans more oxygen can be toxic for us especially underwater. However, in some cases "Like with Nitrox" we add more oxygen to make the percentage up to 40%, but this require specific training and certification.
How much the percentage of oxygen heavier than air?
