The simple answer to your question is "maybe." Solutions are defined as a homogenous (uniform) mixture of 2 or more substances. In a solution, a solute is dissolved into another substance known as the solvent. When referring to a solution in chemistry, one is often referring to a mixture of 2 or more liquids, however solutions may be composed of mixtures of a solid, gas or liquid. In cases of liquid and solid solvents, another substance (the solute) in a gas, liquid or solid phase may be dissolved into the solvent to make a solution. Solutions of gases can only be made with mixtures of substances in the gas phase.
78% nitrogen gas and 21% oxygen gas may be considered a solution if these 2 gases are homogenously mixed with another gas (or gases) that make up the remaining 1%. The mixture of 78% nitrogen and 21% oxygen refers to the composition of the atmosphere of Earth or air. In reality air is not considered a solution as it contains many impurities which make it a heterogenous mixture.
What else can I help you with?
Which two gases make up more than 95 percent of an inhaled breath?
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.

Earth's atmosphere is roughly 78% Nitrogen & 21% Oxygen.
What gas is 21 percent of earth atmosphere?

Do you breathe in more oxygen or nitrogen?
you breathe in more nitrogen then oxygen because there is 78% n in the air and 21% o in the air
Which two gases make up 99 percent of the gases in the atmosphere which gas is more abundant?
I am looking for the exact same answer I know one of the gases should be oxygen
The air you breathe is made of 21 percent oxygen and 78 percent nitrogen The oxygen in air is the?
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.
Why is oxygen 21 percent and nitrogen 78 percent?
This is the composition of the air.
What is over 99 percent of the atmosphere in pure dry air composed of?
