Nitrogen makes up 78% of the atmosphere, not 98%.
Over 99 percent of the atmosphere in pure dry air is composed of nitrogen and oxygen, with nitrogen making up about 78 percent and oxygen around 21 percent. The remaining 1 percent is made up of trace gases such as argon, carbon dioxide, and neon.
Roughly 21% of the air we breathe is oxygen. Nitrogen makes up about 78% of the air, with the remaining 1% composed of various other gases.
it contains 78% nitrogen 21% oxygen and 1% Argon in clean air. However There are more chemicals in that 1 remaining percent such as Helium, Carbon Dioxide, Methane, etc. But the Majority of that 1% is Argon therefore we class the 1% as Argon - Matthew Pote
The percentage of atmospheric gases are:- 79% ; Nitrogen (N2) 20% ; Oxygen (O2) 1% ; ALL other gases, which includes , Carbon Dioxide, Water vapour, The Noble Gases, Sulphur dioxide, Ammonia, Ozone(an allotrope of oxygen) and nitrogen oxides.
nitrogen: 78% oxygen: 21% trace gases: 1%
This is the composition of the air.
Over 99 percent of the atmosphere in pure dry air is composed of nitrogen and oxygen, with nitrogen making up about 78 percent and oxygen around 21 percent. The remaining 1 percent is made up of trace gases such as argon, carbon dioxide, and neon.
78% Nitrogen 21% Oxygen
Roughly 21% of the air we breathe is oxygen. Nitrogen makes up about 78% of the air, with the remaining 1% composed of various other gases.
Nitrogen and oxygen make up more than 95 percent of an inhaled breath. Nitrogen accounts for about 78 percent, while oxygen makes up around 21 percent.
No, 21% of Earth's atmosphere is oxygen. Nitrogen makes up 78%.
The earth's atmosphere at sea level.
It's the oxygen. Since oxygen doesn't dissolve into nitrogen - air is a mixture, not a solution - you can't call it the solute and the nitrogen the solvent, which may have been the answer you thought you were going to get.
The three gases that make up over 99.9 percent of the air are nitrogen (about 78 percent), oxygen (about 21 percent), and argon (about 0.9 percent).
The Earth has an atmosphere of 78% nitrogen (and 21% oxygen).
Earth's atmosphere is roughly 78% Nitrogen & 21% Oxygen.
